Do people dislike Justin Bieber just as much as they hate criminals and killers? Apparently so.

According to GossipCop, in a new survey released by E-Score, Justin Bieber has been ranked the fifth most hated man in the United States.

Number one on the list is disgraced L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling with 92 percent of respondents admitting to disliking Sterling. Coming in next is jailed ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff with 90 percent, and at number three is a tie between Conrad Murray (the doctor that was linked to Michael Jackson's death) and OJ Simpson, both with an 88 percent dislike rating.

Then comes Justin Bieber, who was reportedly disliked by 86 percent of participants. The Biebs scored higher than even accused murderer Aaron Hernandez, former tight end for the New England Patriots. Others on the top 10 include Michael Lohan, Eliot Spitzer and Jon Gosselin.

E-Score states that the survey "was conducted among 1,100 persons ages 13-49 with general representation across income, age, education and geographic demographics to represent a cross-section of the U.S. population.”

We're pretty sure that this is all just fun and games, and that Justin really isn't seen in people's eyes as bad as some of the criminals on the list. But then again, people did try to deport him back to Canada not long ago.
