Hi, Taerie! It's a pleasure to see you and your gorgeous icon.
If they did a poll of only book fans.. Frodo would do much better I think.
I am sure you are right. Although, I think if all readers were polled, Sam would still be preferred to Frodo. Many readers revere and respect Frodo for what he did and who he was, but their affection often resides in Sam, who is more "homey" and accessible as a character, besides being tremendously brave and faithful, two virtues that are difficult not to love.
