Gov. Chris Christie can chuck the treadmill — Americans would have no problem electing a fat president, according to a new poll.
Being overweight has “nothing to do with getting the job done” when it comes to being commander-in-chief, according to 64 percent of those questioned for the Vanity Fair and 60 Minutes survey. Only 10 percent thought a pudgy president would be ineffective.
Pollsters surveyed 1,015 adults nationwide by phone, asking a range of questions on how often they exercise, what fitness trend they think is doomed and whether longevity was worth the exercise.
But while they may be OK with an overweight president, Americans would like to trim away their own fat if they could, with 31 percent opting for a “tummy tuck” over other popular plastic-surgery procedures.
And frisky may have a leg up. Just over half of respondents said yes to the question: “Is sex a workout?”
