Paula Deen was roundly criticized earlier this summer for her past use of the N-word, but among Georgia Republicans, the embattled celebrity evidently has more fans than America's most beloved civil rights icon.
Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling tweeted out a striking nugget on Wednesday from its survey of the Peach State. According to the pollster, Deen is more popular among Republican voters in Georgia than Martin Luther King:
Among Georgia Republicans, Paula Deen has a 73/11 favorability rating; Martin Luther King Jr. gets a 59/28. Why am I not surprised? Ugh.
