President Obama Is The Most Admired Man In The World

Every year since 1948, *Gallup asks
Americans to name the man and
woman living anywhere in the world
they admire most.
This year’s poll was conducted December
5-8, and for the 6th year in a row,
Obama has been named the Most
Admired Man.
Yes, that’s Most Admired Man, over
Senator Ted Cruz and former President
George Bush and empty chair man Clint
Eastwood and the President won over
Mitt Romney. Again.
Of course, it’s a trend that the sitting
President wins the Most Admired
category, and even George W. Bush won
it year after year when he was in office.
But Hillary Clinton was often the Most
Admired Woman while Bush was
President.
The top ten Most Admired Men this year
include former Presidents George W.
Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter.
Clint Eastwood and Ted Cruz finished in
the top 10 for the first time, at 1% to
Bush’s 4% to Obama’s 16%.
Right wing nemesis Hillary Clinton has
been named Most Admired Woman 18
times, “more than any other woman in
Gallup’s history, including each of the
last 12 years.”
This year she won with 15%. Next up is
Oprah Winfrey at 6%, Michelle Obama at 5%
and Sarah Palin at 5% , followed by
Condoleezza Rice and Angela Merkel.
