Americans Named Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton As the People They Most Admired in 2016

[ehrnst]

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.

Michelle Obama followed Hillary Clinton in Gallup’s poll as the second woman Americans most admired, and Barack Obama was followed closely by Donald Trump in the poll, receiving 15 percent of participants versus Obama’s 22 percent. This was the first time Vice-president-elect Mike Pence has made it into the top ten men Americans most admired.

What a world we live in. I guess we should wait and see where the numbers end up after trump and pence have been in office a little longer.

ETA:

The Gallup poll results are based on phone calls made between December 7 and December 11, “with a random sample of 1,028 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia,” it says. This year, Hillary Clinton snagged the top spot for the 15th consecutive year and the 21st time. From Gallup:

A very limited sampling of people. Again give it time trump & pence's standings will fall way to the bottom of the list!!!
