I dont think so most of the NS dont know about poll since it happens all the time and NH for me just prove that they only watch/read Naruto because of hinata and nothing else.
i don't know exactly, but I'm sure that Naruhina is more popular than Narusaku in the West, which explains the result of this poll... but in comparison, NaruSaku is much more popular in Japan, and that's what really matters!
I saw some NH hoping that they pairing has become more popular after Hinata's confession and after what happened in the Sakura's confession, I think they were probably a little more popular, but I doubt they have surpassed NaruSaku since NS has almost double of the NaruHina popularity in Japan.
I will never understand SasukexSakura's popularity. If you think about it (with out knowing that Naruto can heal fast because of the Kyuubi) Sasuke would have killed Naruto. He would have killed Sakura. He would have killed Kakashi with little hesitation. He put Sakura in awkward positions and shows no true love for her. So if they are a Sakura fan who wants Sakura to be happy, Naruto would do more then that. Otherwise there might be more people out there who like the idea of being in a abusive relationship or something. This really can't lead to happiness. To be honest if Sakura love isn't still the immature false love she had a kid or just love for a friend to have them back (at most) then I would be disappointed. Like what more does Sasuke have to do lol?? To me it sends out a bad message to everyone.
NarutoxHinata, is an odd pair, not in the way where they are uniquely different. It's that one is uniquely different while the other one is shy, quiet, and just learning to gain confidence. She has a one to a few track mind. She really doesn't know anything about Naruto and yet has love for his confidence. There maybe couples like this in the world that are happy but it is a very rare few and entertainment wise not very fun to watch in my opinion. To be honest I can't even imagine Naruto even enjoying company like that, I know I would absolutely hate it. There would be like no argument, no fun, just Hinata being obedient to Naruto's stupid whim. If Naruto were to fall in love with her, it would more like be out of desperation for the need of love and that someone loves him. It wouldn't be anything for a long term happy relationship.
What those two pairings lack NarutoxSakura doesn't. Heck at my job, the best married couple or even couples that I meet are similar to each other or act like Naruto and Sakura except with only light pats instead of Sakura's hits lol. These couples are usually married and range from young to old. I love being around these people, they actually bring some joy to my work. The best part is, that they are the majority of couples that I meet. They truly enjoy each others company.
Sorry ranting here, I hope there will be more stronger moments with Naurto and Sakura sometime sooner or later. Hopefully even one that directly or indirectly seals the deal between the two. Naruto manga has been dying down on me a little lately and I think it's been a while since we saw a good NaurtoxSakura moment.
The angst thing on this pairing is what keep people supporting them IMO. Definitely there are people who really enjoy this pairing because of their interaction in part 1 .. as a formely SasuSaku fan I have to say that that was my reason to like this pairing, but then part 2 started and everything has faded away. oh and I see a lot of people who just like this pairing because they are Sasuke fan and wants him to get the girl in the end or because they find Sasuke more atractive than Naruto or because they make a cute couple.
