For the sixth year in a row, President George W. Bush is the most admired man and Sen. Hillary Clinton the most admired woman in Gallup's annual survey. But neither winner had a very decisive win this year, with former President Bill Clinton nearly tying Bush and Hillary Clinton barely topping talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. This is the seventh time Bush has been most admired man and the 12th time Clinton has been most admired woman.
These results are based on the Dec. 14-16 USA Today/Gallup poll, which asked Americans, without prompting, to say what man and woman "living today in any part of the world, do [they] admire most?" Gallup has asked the most admired man and woman questions in this format in all but two years since 1948.
Most Admired Woman
With 16% of total mentions for most admired woman, Winfrey had her strongest showing to date in the current poll. But Clinton also had a stronger-than-usual score in 2007 -- the 18% who mention the former first lady is the highest since 2000 (19%). Clinton's best performance was in 1998, when 28% said they most admired her, just as her husband was being impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives in the Monica Lewinsky matter.
Winfrey has now finished second on the most admired woman list every year since 1997 with the exception of 2001, when she was third (to Laura Bush and Clinton). During that time, she has come within two percentage points of Clinton for the top spot on one other occasion (2004) and within one point on two occasions (2002 and 2005).

BARF!
Be sure and send the above snippet to all your lib-friends with a link to the story. They will hyperventilate and go into spastic shock before they can even clink the link.
On what planet was this poll taken? Or did they just survey NYC yentas for the most-admired women?
Most admired criminal, liar and scum who has sold her soul, no one will bar her march to power.
“Clinton’s best performance... .”
That’s IT! Her best PERFORMANCE. It’s merely an act with this woman.
So if Hillary could just get Mrs. Clinton to endorse her and speak for her at campaign rallies, it would be better than Obama having Oprah......
Yeah, I believe that...is the biggest whopper from a “pollster” in some time.
We’re doomed.
wonder how many shots of tequila do the pollees have to take before being “polled”? is their a free gift under their chair?
When will people get a clue?
I have long said that the Democrats take us for fools, and apparently most of us are.
ROTFLOL
Who votes in this poll?
If they have to say they didn't have to prompt..... they prompted!
Hey, let’s ping Johnny to this picture...
Actually, quite encouraging. 84% of the populace did not name her—one of the world’s most well-known women whose name and face are being pushed on us 24/7 by a fawning media, and whose airbrushed countenance follows us around every bookstore display from here to Moscow. Hillary’s 16% of the vote roughly tracks with the percentage of the populace who thinks OJ is innocent.
Interesting that the the two “most admired women” are both trying to march this country further into socialism...while enriching themselves.
