Barack Obamas legacy may be under attack by President Trump but he still has bragging rights as the most admired man in the world, according to a new Gallup poll.
The poll found 17 percent of people questioned named Obama the man they admired most, a drop from 22 percent last year.
Trump took second place with 14 percent, while Hillary Clinton was named the most admired woman for the 16th year in a row, with 9 percent of mentions, Gallup found.
Obama has now been named the most admired man 10 times in a row, trailing only Dwight Eisenhower, who earned the distinction 12 times.
The 44th president won all eight years he was in office, plus 2008 the year he was first elected and this year, his first as an ex-president.
Trump is one of few incumbent presidents who have not been named the most admired among all Americans. The incumbent has won 58 of 71 times.
Previous incumbent commanders-in-chief 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.

When you are “of the world” the world will love you.
The put this crap out to make it hard to hang their precious commie POS.
They know justice is coming and trying to soften the blow.
Hang the POS anyway.
And then, may any memory of this maggot be erased.
The rest of the world really appreciated an American president who put his own country in second place. They dont appreciate having to compete again with an America lead by a president who knows the US is superior.
Policies which enrich the people who own the media will always been lauded as wonderful and great, and policies which interfere with the owners of the media getting wealth, will always be degraded as horrible.
The media puts forth "news" that benefits those people who control those companies. If that requires making a worthless no-accomplishment black guy into a "admirable" person, then that is what they do. They did the same thing for the despicable white guy Bill Clinton.
I have come to the opinion that this control of the narrative has been going on since the Civil War, and for the exact same reason. It benefits wealthy interests in the North East.
obama should be arrested for conspiracy to distribute drugs in the United States from Hezbollah . The witnesses are the DEA who were ordered to stand down.
Really? A defender of the Wookie with a Nookie?
It's purpose isn't accuracy, it's to reinforce the Liberal Narrative that the worthless bastard was beneficial.
As to obama, these are the same idiots who gave that empty suit a Nobel prize, so you can temper their "admiration" with a ton of salt. And if he keeps falling while Trump keeps rising, next year, you won't read any such article.
They probably only polled Europeans.
>>Obama has now been named the most admired man 10 times in a row, trailing only Dwight Eisenhower, who earned the distinction 12 times.
Proof of the degeneration of American expectations and morals in favor of sheeplike virtue signaling.
98% of people polled do not believe polls.
They are a combination of deliberate liars and deluded idiots.
Please, World, take him.
He did pull off one of the most audacious frauds of all time.
Barack Obama (if that is really his name) is not a natural born citizen.
He was never Constitutionally eligible to be President.
I do think it’s a rush job shoved out there to staunch the loss of his reputation among Dems so that when the indictment(s) are made public, their base is “motivated.”
The same old Saul Alenski liberal democrat ploy; counter their accusers who expose their criminal actions by digging in and doubling down on the legitimacy of their crimes. In this case, shoring up support for their illicit Muslim anti-American president, Barrack Hussein Obama. The bastard needs to be hanged.
