We're getting lost in the weeds, but I mean popularity in the sense of likability as opposed to simply the guy/gal who gets the most votes. I'm gonna use foreign examples, because they come to mind, but I'd rather have a mean-spirited curmudgeon who go the job done like Thatcher than a smiling doofus who makes the ladies wet, but rides the country into Pound Town like Trudeau anyday of the week...
