	The poll compared the result of their survey, which measured the candidates favorability, with their own internet survey on famous Hollywood villains, including "The Terminator", "Darth Vader", Shark from "Jaws" and "Voldemort."
	While all the candidates received a negative approval rating, Voldemort had a higher rating than six Republicans, including Jeb Bush, son of former American President George HW Bush.
	The poll was topped by "The Terminator", followed by "Darth Vader" and "The Sharks", who received positive scores.
