Former President Barack Obama is America’s “most admired man” for the 10th consecutive year, according to new survey data from Gallup, and perhaps even more surprising, Hillary Clinton was named the most admired woman for the 16th year in a row.
As Gallup notes, the pair retain their titles this year, although by much narrower margins than in the past. Obama edges out Donald Trump, 17% to 14%, while Clinton edges out Michelle Obama, 9% to 7%.

Trump is one of few incumbent presidents who have not been named the most admired among all Americans.
Gallup has asked the most admired man question 71 times since 1946 — all but in 1976. The incumbent president has won 58 of those times.
Previous incumbent presidents who did not finish first include Harry Truman in 1946-1947 and 1950-1952, Lyndon Johnson in 1967-1968, Richard Nixon in 1973, Gerald Ford in 1974-1975, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and George W. Bush in 2008. All but Truman in 1947 and Ford in 1974 had job approval ratings well below 50%, like Trump.
As would be expected for a Republican president, Trump wins handily among Republicans — 35% name him as the man they admire most, with only 1% naming Obama. In contrast, Obama leads among Democrats, with 39% mentioning him and 3% Trump. Independents are slightly more likely to name Obama (12%) than Trump (9%).
The former secretary of State and presidential candidate has been named most admired more than any other man or woman in polling history, according to Gallup, who notes in a release that her polling numbers this year (at just 9%) were the lowest in the past 15 years, making it unlikely for her to hold the top title for much longer.
“She managed to win this year because she remains arguably more prominent than other contenders,” Gallup said.
“However, retaining that stature may be more challenging in coming years with her political career likely over.”
Perhaps more reflective of the state of society, a quarter of respondents could not name a man or woman they admired most, according to Gallup, and about a tenth named a relative or friend.
As if I needed another reminder of how many morons infest this country….
Makes me wanna puke.
Elon Musk / Jeff Bezos – I’d like to strap them to one of Musk’s SpaceX rockets.
Mitch(ell) Obama / Hillary Clit(on) / Oprah (trailer park queen) I wouldn’t fuck any of them with a stolen dick (thanks to George Carlin).
John McCain? da fuq…
Ever wonder why this country is going down the tubes?
Nope.
In some ways it makes sense: Almost 5 times as many people picked Trump over the (fake) Pope as “most-admired”.
How did Ann Barnhardt not win “most admired woman”?

That ANY government employee or elected official (other than maybe Ron Paul) would make the top ten is all the sign you need to know that the end is near.
At least this time around the Decline of Western Civilization will be well-documented…..not necessarily well-understood by the masses of sheeple, but at least well-documented.
Yeah, admired by the devil.
My choices:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban
Polish Prime Minister Beata Maria Szydło
Another good reason to despise democracy.
Churchill: The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
We are doomed!
And not well known, there favorite food is in my white porcilne bowl. Ya, after I leave.
More proof there will be no lack of informants, traitors, and backstabbers when the next revolution rolls around.
Then came the deafening roar of awe inspiring silence…………………………………
Those polls are an f’n joke. They are run/administered by the very crooks that they say are the most popular. Crock of shit. I hate these fer’s.
Thankfully as a country/world we have turned the corner against this crap.
Not by me Tyler!

WTF – the Obummer and the Hildabeast…two certifiable crooks and scumbags of the lowest order. Has America gone totally MAD or is the data rigged by Gallup. Quite frankly, there is not a polling firm that is not corrupt and Gallup is one of the most corrupt.
At least Dumbya isn’t there. It isn’t much, but it’s something.
“Hillary Clinton was named the most admired woman for the 16th year in a row.”
I hope that her award will be a new pantsuit. An orange one with a number on it…

What a shitshow. Look at most of the people on both lists, mostly pathetic selections. Unreal.
Admired by who? This homosexual muslim degenerate and the most crooked crony politician both make me want to puke.
Fuck a bunch of over-sampling Gallup jackasses…
Julian Assange should be the most admired man, without a doubt!
Edward Snowden second. Can’t think of any famous women that I would name, other than The Virgin Mary. I guess that I would have to say Jesus too, like Bush did. I don’t consider him to be merely a man though.
Virtue Signaling.

That whole list is fake. David Allen Coe and John Prine should be on the men’s list; Roseanne Cash and Iris Dement should be on the women’s list.
Unbelievable. Hope this joke takes some of the bad taste out of our mouths
President Obama goes to the doctors and says,
“Doctor doctor, every time I look in the mirror I get aroused.”
The doctor replies, “I’m not surprised…you’re a cunt.”
I never thought Gallup could be bought. This travesty just proves the point. “Figures don’t lie, but liars figure”.
When was the voting and how come none of us got to vote?
Can’t admire liars and thieves.
