The presidential contender beat out Oprah


Americans named Hillary Clinton the woman they admire most of anywhere in the world, a new poll found, for the 17th time in 18 years.

When Gallup asked a random sampling of Americans who is the living female they admire most, 12% named Clinton. The former Secretary of State was followed by Oprah Winfrey at 8% and Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafazi at 5%.

There is a meme going around here that Hillary is not liked by the rest of the county.

1. .

[NCTraveler]

2. Add me to the list. nt.

[MADem]

41. I resemble that remark!!!!!!!! nt

[NurseJackie]

3. I certainly admire her!! <3

[leveymg]

4. I guess that means that 88% of us don't think so.

[upaloopa]

7. No it doesn't

I knew someone would say that

It means given a list of names 12% of people picked Hillary

The shorter the list the higher her percentage would be.

But you stick to your world view

BTW where is Bernie on a list of men?

[leveymg]

10. Oh, nutz! The power of logic - I'm melting!

So, spank me

[Agnosticsherbet]

5. I'm not surprised.

[A Round Tuit]

6. You do realize...

that poll is a year old?

A lot can change in a year.

[Hiraeth]

59. shh. shh.

bless them.

[PatrynXX]

60. gosh you don't think Mitt is still waiting on the results.

um Meg get someone else

[reformist2]

8. 12% love her, and maybe 20% more like her, but 52% actively dislike her.

This is what survey after survey shows.

Sorry.

[Thinkingabout]

28. Is this the same thinking when Sanders polls at 30% then 70% does not like him?

[reformist2]

38. No. Those numbers are from other polls. Fact is, only a small percentage of Americans like Hillary.

[Thinkingabout]

46. A larger percentage wants her to be president.

[litlbilly]

58. Where is the poll that says that? Stop making stuff up

[Thinkingabout]

65. 30 from 100 leaves 70, easy to fo the math.

[Live and Learn]

57. +1000 nt

[AtomicKitten]

9. She's currently underwater. Unfavorable 51.1%, favorable 43.7%.

http://elections.huffingtonpost.com/pollster/hillary-clinton-favorable-rating

[upaloopa]

29. Higher than Bernie's among Dems

[AtomicKitten]

39. Be sure to mention that when you complain about open primaries & indies registering as dems.

[ibegurpard]

67. Which won't help her a bit in the general

Where Bernie's favorables are much more promising.

[ESKD]

61. +1

[2pooped2pop]

11. um 12 percent isn't exactly a love fest. n/t

[upaloopa]

22. You don't understand either

She was picked by 12% of those polled. They picked her over the other women.

If the number of women were lower her percentage would be higher

Get it?

[2pooped2pop]

23. yeah 12% is low

[upaloopa]

24. If it were Hillary and Oprah it would be 50%

[NurseJackie]

42. 1% Pick Elizabeth Warren. So, I guess we can assume that 99% hate her?! (Is that about right?)

Good grief! Some people.

[upaloopa]

44. No I am tired of trying to explain this

[NurseJackie]

48. I can imagine! But you gave it a good try! :-) It's very clear how the poll worked and what the ...

... percentages mean. It's difficult for me to believe that ALL those people didn't get it, so I think they were just pulling your leg by playing dumb.

-= Sigh =- (What can ya do?)

[bvar22]

25. Maybe, maybe not.

It all depends. A global statement that if the sample size were smaller, then Hillary would get a proportionate increase in her size of the vote.
This is absolute not true.

She may, or she may not, depending on the other choices.

If the poll says 12%....then it IS 12%.
Your rationalizations or hopes don't matter.

[upaloopa]

26. Geez read the damn story and stop making

shit up to fit your narrative and paradigm

[CajunBlazer]

30. More American admire Hillary the MOST

Don't try to turn this into a negative; that would be disingenuous.

By the way, Barack Obama has lead the list as the most admired man in the world for the 7th year in a row and he is at 19%. When you are talking about the entire world, there is a lot of competition out there. Hillary has lead the women's list the last 13 years in a row and 17 out of the last 18.

By the way, men's list includes 38 other men, including Pope Francis (6%), Bill Clinton (3%), Billy Graham (2%), Bill Gates (1%) and Steven Hacking (1%). It also includes several in the GOP field: Ben Carson (1%), Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee, and Ted Cruz (all less than 1% this year) Heck even Bill O'Reilly (1%), Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh (both less than 1%) made the list of the top 39 men.

By the way, can you guess where Bernie Sanders fell on the list of the top 39 men - that right, he wasn't on it.

Edit to add Link so you can see both lists for yourself: [link:http://www.gallup.com/poll/1678/Most-Admired-Man-Woman.aspx|Most Admired Man and Woman

12. Yes but this poll was taken a year ago...

...before the second debate, during which Hillary had the audacity to invoke 9/11--after she was asked about Wall Street raining a parade of money into her campaign coffers.

[upaloopa]

18. You know Bernie folks were all aglow

when Bernie was named the most popular Senator. He had a higher percentage of his constituents liking him than any other Senator had of their constituents.

Hillary's constituents were on Manhattan Island and they were her constituents on 9/11.
So being her constituents she helped them rebuild. Some of those folks work for Wall Street firms and some of those folks liked Hillary's helping them and today they still like her.

But unlike Bernie, Hillary's constituents are spawns of the devil so Hillary will screw all of us because she represented spawns of the devil.

[CoffeeCat]

27. I feel sorry for Hillary supporters...

...backed into corners and forced to explain away and minimize that their candidate has been purchased--and is fully owned by Wall Street and other special interests.

Do you ever get tired? Do you ever just wish that your candidate didn't owe powerful interests...anything?

[CajunBlazer]

36. LOL!!!!

That was a good one.

[Marty McGraw]

56. ( ._.)

[leftofcool]

45. Nope!

[MineralMan]

13. Wait...what? I thought she was rilly, rilly unpopular

in this country. How odd...

[Jarqui]

14. When a list like that has

Condoleezza Rice And Sarah Palin high on it, I simply can't put much stock in it.

[upaloopa]

16. Now how did I know that?

[kath]

19. Wow. Isn't that a great list! HRC sure is in great company.

[upaloopa]

21. Any port in a storm

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. To Know Her Is To Love Her

[JaneyVee]

17. That is her 14th time winning it.

[upaloopa]

20. 17th out of 18 years

[Thinkingabout]

31. This is a point worth noting. Sanders has been in Congress for twenty five years,

I have not seen this type of honor for him.

[artislife]

33. and still she didn't win in 2008.

Heh.

[upaloopa]

35. Well between now and January 20 2017

you can be practicing saying Madam President

[SmittynMo]

51. I like to say this instead,,, when Bernie wins

My damn president. This guy will get shit done.

[lunamagica]

63. Madam President...

I like it!

[postatomic]

32. She's down to 3rd now. Curse you Angelina Jolie and Malala Yousafazi

I actually admire all three of these amazing women, with a bias toward Hillary Clinton.

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2015/01/30/most-admired-2015/

[artislife]

40. Malala!

That is someone who bravely faced a hail of bullets and truly fought evil. No one can match her bravery and her ability to bring along all the young women of the world.

[tularetom]

55. But, but, but Hillary faced a hail of sniper bullets in Bosnia

Oh wait, no she didn't.

She just lied and said she did. So that's almost the same right?

[bvar22]

34. Hillary shared the top 10 with great humanitarians like:

*Sarah Palin

*Condo Rice

*Laura Bush


Great Company.
They should make an exception this year and let Henry Kissinger on the list.

[Duval]

50. Ha ha ha ha Priceless, bvar22! eom

[kath]

52. Yep. She's so freakin' awesome, and in such great company. And yes, her great buddy Kissinger should

Also be on the list.

[Laser102]

54. Malala was also on that list. Hillary is in great company.

[Iliyah]

37. K & R

18th coming up!

[mcar]

43. Great news!

[Scootaloo]

47. Woo! 12% You go, Sec. Clinton!

You're as popular as congress!

[frylock]

49. Well now we know that she's liked by 12% of the country.

Good info. Thanks.

[JoePhilly]

53. Haters gonna hate this.

But, they are always upset anyway, so we probably won't really notice.

[Jester Messiah]

62. Fatuous bullshit.

Probably put out to court controversy and drive up page views.

[ibegurpard]

64. 12%

So she won with 12%... and you extrapolate that to the general public ' s feelings about her?

[upaloopa]

68. no you did

see if you can figure out what it means

[ismnotwasm]

66. Well hot damn

Who'd a thought?

Very cool

[Beacool]

69. Right on!!

[Crystalite]

70. WRONG. In 2015, Hillary falls behind Malala, JK Rowling, Jennifer Lawrence, many many others.

Your one year old article is nice. One year ago.

Right now HRC has 81 NO votes to only 19 YES.

Sanders enjoys the overall lead and has 78 YES votes and only 22 NO.

Sanders wins: http://time.com/4110428/person-of-the-year-readers-poll-results-2015/

[Fearless]

71. For the SEVENTEENTH TIME IN EIGHTEEN YEARS??

Really.

I'm going to take this seriously?



And Malala comes in at 5%... less than half of Hillary?

Yeah.

Taking this so seriously.
