'Seinfeld' fans: Kramer is favorite character
May 7, 1998
CNN / USA Today / Gallup Poll
Web posted at: 10:15 p.m. EDT (0215 GMT)(CNN) -- While Americans consider "Seinfeld" the funniest show on TV and 44 percent say they will watch the sitcom's final episode on May 14, many may not be watching so they can say goodbye to Jerry.
Fifty-eight percent of "Seinfeld" fans say Kramer is their favorite character. Only 12 percent voted for Jerry, which ties him with George, while Elaine squeaked past both of them with 15 percent.
A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll conducted April 17-19 questioned 1,007 adult Americans, including 487 fans of "Seinfeld"
Kramer is particularly well-liked among male fans of the show. Two-thirds of the men who watch the show say the "hipster doofus" is their favorite character.
"Seinfeld" fans say that the show's characters are likable rather than annoying.
Fans of the show -- who represent about half the adult population in the United States -- also say they would like to see NBC put "Frasier" in the "Seinfeld" slot on Thursday nights. "Mad About You" was a close second.
The sampling error for the poll was plus or minus 4.5 percentage points for questions asked of "Seinfeld" fans only, and plus or minus 3 percentage points for questions asked of all respondents.
