Polling for the small rodent skyrocketed after the critter was executed by New York City animal control this past week. Videos of Peanut's many skills vaulted his popularity among voters from all walks of life and prompted a surge in his polling.

"I love that little guy," voter Chris Tucker told an exit poll worker. "Looking at both the other candidates, it became clear to me that Peanut best represents my values and I'd love to have a guy like him in the Whitehouse…if he was still alive."
