Note the keyword--"Likeable". Gundam 00's females all have flaws that turn off male fans without enough traits that appeal to fanboys. Lacus is depicted as the ideal girl with all the traits that these same fans salivate over. That's the key.
For the record, Gundam Seed Destiny's [new] female characters didn't fare well in popularity polls either, for the same reason that the 00 girls didn't (serious character flaws, not likeable enough, not enough screentime, and not enough development).
