Washington, April 1 : Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is reportedly the second choice of Americans after Hillary Clinton when it comes to seeing their favorite female candidate running for the high office, a new poll has found.

The poll, conducted by the Economist/YouGov, asked participants as to which female candidate, other than Hillary Clinton, would they like to see run for the high office.

While Palin won 9 percent of the vote, she was followed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, at 8 percent each, the Washington Times reported.

Meanwhile, nearly two-thirds of respondents voted in favor of electing a woman to president.

First lady Michelle Obama only won 2 percentage points, followed by 1 each for Nikki Haley, Michele Bachmann, Dianne Feinstein and Kirsten Gillibrand , the report added. (ANI)
