Hillary Clinton Most Admired Woman a Record 21st Time

Guess she's not so unpopular after all.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/200771/obama-bests-trump-admired-man-2016.aspx

Americans named Hillary Clinton the Most Admired Woman for the 15th consecutive year and 21st time overall. Since her initial win in 1993 as first lady, Clinton has topped the list every year but 1995 and 1996 (when she finished behind Mother Teresa) and 2001 (behind Laura Bush). Eleanor Roosevelt has the second-most No. 1 finishes among women, at 13.

First lady Michelle Obama finished second on the Most Admired Woman list this year, tied with 2012 as her best finish. The remainder of the top 10 most admired women include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former and current talk-show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, Queen Elizabeth of England, human rights activist Malala Yousafzai, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

But maddening too. Just like she said many times, people love her unless she's running for something.

All the media "she's untrustworthy" hype that people believed. And yet, she is this popular.

I really hope she's relaxing and enjoying her family this holiday season.
