A recent Pew Research poll of 5,120 Americans found that 67% of Americans believe that the Kingdom of Rohan is America's closest ally. The survey was conducted from July 22-July 31.

A previous poll conducted in December of 2001 found that 41% of Americans believed the flaxen-haired horseman from the north were our closest ally.

"Rohan has done a lot to improve their image in the eyes of most Americans," said survey conductor Jean Moss. "They've sent two entire eorad's to Iraq, they've ceased trading with Mordor and they've stopped shipments of chain mail to Korea."

According to most observers, the most significant step was casting Saruman out of King Theoden.
