Former President Barack Obama is America’s “most admired man” for the 10th consecutive year, according to new survey data from Gallup.

The annual poll has been taken every year but one since 1946 and asks respondents to name their most admired man and woman, as well as their second choice.

Obama came in first this year, with 17 percent of the vote. President Trump followed close behind, with 14 percent. After Trump was Pope Francis (3 percent) and the Rev. Billy Graham (2 percent), with several other political, spiritual and business leaders being named, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the Dalai Lama

“Admired” for what?

Seriously, what has he ever done which was admirable?

“...Obama is America’s “most admired man” for the 10th consecutive year, according to new survey data from Gallup...”

... yeah, but polling ISIS and other muslim terrorist organizations doesn’t count, so there goes THAT poll out the window.

No doubt this lacks any mention of where and who was polled?

I find myself at odds with many people on this issue. I think he has a weird and wrong understanding of the world. I think almost all his prescriptions for the problems of the world have not worked, or are not likely to. I think there is no reason to think he was presidential material. He did not show leadership, compromise, or deal making. The US was worse off, the world was worse off and the race relations were worse off after he left office.

But many here think he is some god. Totally lost on me.

Is Obama given a ten point head start? That’s the only way this could be true and accurate.

An honest headline would read :

Obama Leads Trump in First Quarter by 3 points, 17 - 14

If true, not a very positive comment on the people who answered this poll. It would indicate a deep rooted mental problem.

For the 10th year in a row they prove the Idiocracy hypothesis.

It really was a documentary.

That speaks to the ignorance of the America public.
The President isn’t supposed to be your cool, dope-smoking Uncle who comes by to visit, tells you what you want to hear and lets you act like an a-hole.
