Spaniards rather drink a beer with PM than Penelope Cruz
Friday April 27, 2007

Spain's reform-minded Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero tops a list of people Spaniards would like to have a beer with, according to a poll published Wednesday.

More than one in 10 people named Zapatero, who has championed women's rights and approved gay marriage since taking office in 2004, when asked who they would like to have a beer with, the Ipsos poll found.

Zapatero topped the poll last year as well.

The Socialist prime minister, with 11.8 percent of preferences, came in ahead of Oscar-nominated Spanish actress Penelope Cruz who was named by six percent of respondents.

Spain's reigning two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso came in third place with 5.9 percent.

The poll was carried out among 2,000 people for Spain's beer producers association between March 1 and 12.
