Casey Anthony Most Hated Person In America

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Casey Anthony, 25, who is now in hiding after being released from jail in July - is the most hated person in America, according to a new poll that tracks public perceptions of celebrities.

California-based E-Poll's E-Score Celebrity research for the first week of August showed that 53 percent were aware of Casey Anthony and her story, 94 percent disliked her, 57 percent considered her "creepy" and "cold" by 60 percent.

Former reality TV show star Spencer Pratt was second in the "total dislike" category, followed by Nadya Suleman, the unemployed single woman who gave birth to octuplets in 2009 despite already having six children. O.J. Simpson -- who was acquitted in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife and a friend in 1994 -- came fourth.

The E-Score Celebrity poll is carried out weekly among a representative sample of 1,100 respondents aged 13 and over. It ranks more than 6,000 celebrities in terms of public awareness, appeal and 46 other attributes.
