Poll of the week: David Hernandez kicks off champion series with a win

For the first installment of the second annual IDOL LIVE poll of the week champion series, David Hernandez was the recipient of the title of favorite 13/12th-place finalist of all eight seasons (or all seven seasons that had a Top 12/13).

The seventh season's 12-place finisher scored 21 votes, good for 39% of the 53 votes cast. The next closest finalist was Jorge Nunez of Season 8, as the Puerto Rican contestant garnered 13 votes (24%). Right behind him was his season mate Jasmine Murray, who took in a total of seven votes (13%).

As the winner of this round, David will be back in a few months to vie for the finals of the champion poll series where he will take on much tougher competition.

In the next installment of IDOL LIVE's poll of the week champion series, readers are asked which 11th-place finalist is their favorite of all eight seasons. Voting will be open for exactly one week.
