Some of the pages on here say that Hinata has more votes than Sakura in the official character popularity polls. If you add up polls 1 through 10 using the numbers from http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Naruto_Character_Popularity_Polls for Sakura you get a total of 25,360 votes while for Hinata you get 25,112 votes. Please add them yourself to confirm. Also the number of appearances doesn't contribute much to a recurrent character's popularity since Iruka has a total of 42,215 votes and he's appeared in the manga only a handful of times.
