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.

YUP...YUP...YUP!
SURVEY speaks poorly for the intelligence of many.
Not one thread of admiration here for Obozo.
He is nothing but a fraud and liar...nothing to respect.
Gallup also told us that the Clinton presidency was a lock.
Of course he is most admired. I can’t think of anyone else who has visited all 57 states...
Americans love to lie to pollsters these days. I wouldn’t put too much stock in this. It’s not even “news”.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha funniest thing I’ve heard all day.
More polling errors . . .
Only an absolute fool would admire this America-hating piece of trash.
Same way he won the Nobel.
Another skewed pathetic.
Fake...lies...
LIBS are concurrently good for a laugh and repulsive.
BY WHO?????????? Not me.
After choosing him, the San Francisco Gay Mens Choir poled Obama.
FAKE polling organization.
Sure he did! That’s why his girl Hillary got her ass kicked. Obama is a fool !
Ultimate response.
Name recognition alone is responsible for results in polls like this.
What's really important to remember is that when pollsters like these go polling, they're looking to poll those a$$holes and not the sane Americans who've had all they can take of Obama and his ilk. They go polling on college campuses and upscale malls where they know all the liberal yuppies will be. It's easy to get a poll to say anything they want it to. Polls like these are truly meaningless when you consider the source and their political ulterior motives.
Obama's a complete failure in every way shape and form and they just can't handle that truth.
