Poll: Moms Trust Ellen and Portia


In anticipation of Mother's Day this Sunday, ParentDish.com conducted a poll with celebrity-related motherhood questions between April 23 and May 5. The results show that, among famous potential baby-sitters, mothers would feel most comfortable leaving their children with newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

Ellen and Portia received 31% of the vote, nine points above runner-up Jennifer Aniston, followed by Rachael Ray, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, and Oprah Winfrey.

Alias star Jennifer Garner was named the best mother, taking 37% of the vote, 11 points above tied runners-up Michelle Obama and Reese Witherspoon, with Gwen Stefani and Angelina Jolie trailing in the single digits.

Former Hole frontwoman Courtney Love triumphed, sort of, as the worst mother, receiving two more votes than Dina Lohan at 32%, followed closely by Britney Spears. Sarah Palin and Kate Moss also received a small slice of support for the dubious honor.

    Wow, that shows we're getting somewhere. A few years back 31% of pollers would not have voted a gay couple as they're favoured celebrity babysiiters.
