22% name Barack Obama as most admired man; 15% name Donald Trump Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman 9th time Obama has won; 21st time for Clinton
PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans are most likely to name President Barack Obama as the man they admire most in 2016. Twenty-two percent mentioned Obama in response to the open-ended question. President-elect Donald Trump was second at 15%. It is Obama's ninth consecutive win, but the seven-percentage-point margin this year is his narrowest victory yet.
The results are based on a Dec. 7-11 poll. Since 1946, Gallup has asked Americans to name the man, living anywhere in the world, whom they admire most.
Incumbent presidents typically win the distinction -- in the 70 times Gallup has asked the question, the president has won 58 times. The 12 exceptions were mostly times when the sitting president was unpopular, including 2008, when Americans named President-elect Obama over President George W. Bush. Obama and Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 are the only presidents-elect to win the distinction. Eisenhower finished first 12 times, more than any other man in history. Obama is now second all-time with nine first-place finishes.

Fake news, like the fake polls in this last election.
#fakepoll to go with their #fakenews?
Brought to you by the same folks that said Hillary couldn’t lose.
Really?
Same poll that had Trump losing election.
Fake poll, fake news.....and in denial....
The Gallup Poll has totally discredited itself....
“1. Barack Obama
2. Donald Trump
3. Pope Francis
4. Bernie Sanders
**
Sure looks legit. Pope Francis and Bernie. What a line up (s/)
They need a poll for “Most Detested, Vilest, Vainest, and Most Petulant Man Alive.” He’d get 78% of that vote. But I’m not sure I’d actually put him in the “man” category.
Poll taken in SF bath houses.
I don’t believe it for second.
And Hillary was 1st in woman most admired...we are still living in oppositeville...
Michelle Obama finished second on the Most Admired Woman list this year, tied with 2012 as her best finish.
The remainder of the top 10 most admired women include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former and current talk-show hosts Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, Queen Elizabeth of England.....

Oh yeah the people love Obama so much and that is why the people voted AGAINST who he campaigned for. It’s also why his party lost over 1000 seats nation wide too. It’s because they love Obama sooooo much........(sarcasm off).
Gallup = Desperate
Remember these are the same folks that said Trump had no chance of winning.
Gallup = Colossal joke
