Americans' most admired man and woman: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton

Failing Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon is the second-most admired man in the world among Americans, joining a small group of incumbent presidents who failed to win Gallup’s top distinction while in office.

Trump’s predecessor, former President Barack Obama, and vanquished general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, retain their titles as the man and woman Americans most admire, according to the Gallup poll released Wednesday morning.

Obama edged out Trump, 17 percent to 14 percent, to win his 10th most-admired title. He won the year he was elected president, each year in the White House and his first year out of office. Only former President Dwight Eisenhower has won Gallup’s most-admired title more times than Obama has. (Eisenhower was so named 12 times).

Clinton narrowly bested former first lady Michelle Obama, 9 percent to 7 percent, retaining her honor for the 16th consecutive year. The former senator, secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee has won 22 times overall, the most ever.

How ANYONE could admire the "Failing Cheeto-Faced Ferret-Wearing Shit Gibbon" baffles me. He was sent from the bowels of hell.

Finally Ben

Now when you whine and say "but twump lost the popular vote" you will actually be telling the truth

Although considering that Trump is supposed to be literally Hitler and ALL the nazi's rolled into one, you would have thought Muslim-in-chief Obama would have......... Trumped him in the popularity contest??

Trump can't be that bad of Muslim-in-chief Obama only beat him by 3 points

Did anyone see who actually got each votes.

Cannot say the pickings were great lol

No shit. And did you notice the trend with Hillary? She is getting more popular.   That doesn't make much sense.


And Elizabeth Warren is getting less popular.

People are waking up to the fact that Hillary never did anything wrong--from Benghazi to emails. It was all ginned up by the Republicans, perhaps with some help from the Russians.

You read it wrong, look again.

And Didge, people were asked to name anybody. Some picked family members.

So its a fairly poor listing then, when there is not a set standard list of names then?

I mean if it includes family, how poorly do then many Americans place their own parents/children etc, if they place others above them?

I find that appalling

You're right. That makes more sense. Hillary is dropping while Warren is rising.

It is appalling that Americans have been conditioned to think that the most admired people need to be politicians.

Indeed, I mean how can any place a politician, before a family member?

Seems like some place political beliefs above everything else.

I see about a quarter, did not find anyone they admire.

That is quite a sad reality, if people feel that way
