I have has a look at the early volumes of Naruto. In volume 7 I found the results of a poll with Kakashi in first place, Naruto in second place and Sasuke in third place. Maybe there's later polls where Sasuke came out first, but I don't have time to look them up at the moment. Actually you don't need an absolute majority in order to come out first in such a poll, just a relative majority, meaning that even if Sasuke gets less some forty percent of the votes, while the other sixty percent hate him, he may come out first if the other votes are divided between, say, Naruto, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Gaara and maybe even Sakura.
At the moment, not just Sasuke's but also Naruto's arc makes me feel bad about the manga. It's just "I am best and everyone loves me", but I don't feel much personality, just the craving of a lonely child. I mean, normal persons don't long to be loved by everyone, they have friends, acquantancies, people they don't care much about and people they rather avoid without considering them evil. But their relationships feel more real. Maybe we should have got some panel of Naruto hanging out with Sasuke at least in chapter 700.
