Americans rank Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton as most admired: (Gallup) poll
Yahoo! News ^ | 12/30/13 | Colleen Jenkins - Reuters

(Reuters) - Americans named President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the world's most admired living man and woman in 2013, according to a Gallup poll released on Monday.

Obama topped the annual list for the sixth consecutive year, a typical ranking for a sitting U.S. president, the polling organization said.

But the percentage of those surveyed who choose him as the most admired man fell to 16 percent this year, down from 30 percent in 2012.

The president's job approval rating has dropped during a year marked by a botched healthcare rollout and stalled legislative initiatives at the start of his second term.

Clinton earned the top spot among most admired women for the 12th consecutive year and 18th time overall, more than any other woman in the poll's history.

Fifteen percent of Americans surveyed gave the former first lady and U.S. senator the highest ranking, down from 21 percent who named her as the most admired woman last year, the poll showed.

Not true, but go ahead and argue minor points. The bottom line is this poll shows we are in a world of hurt and we need to get busy or we’ll see more unbridled liberalism continue at the federal level.

They polled 1031 people in New York city...

Results are as you see.

And yeah, a large segment of our population is just that far gone.

I see Rasmussen using error margins smaller than that of Gallup.

Most liberalism at the federal level is in the unelected, unaccountable sphere to boot.

The media is responsible for the destruction of our once great country. They are number one on the enemies list.

Gallup said its data came from a poll of 1,031 adults

All living in The Castro, San Francisco.

The article states that owebama dropped from 30% to 16%, a decrease of 50.3%. Hitlery went from 21% to 15%. That is certainly not good news for either of them.

These are low numbers but still enough for a plurality.

Probably not a multiple choice poll...

FR really needs to have a “Barf Alert” topic field for postings like these.

You just know the little punk from Reuters or Yahoo who wrote this article looks exactly like the OBAMA CARE POSTER WEASEL.

Mark Twain’s comment was incomplete.

“There are Lies, damned Lies and Statistics”... but Poll Results top them all!
