The Harris Poll list of America's heroes is a list of the people Americans admire enough to consider a hero. The list is determined by asking a representative sample of Americans to name, without prompting, the people they admire enough to consider a hero. Poll respondents are free to name anyone at all, alive or dead, from anywhere on Earth, without any preselected list of names to choose from. The most frequently cited names are then listed as the most admired heroes.[3]
