Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sets a record in Gallup’s annual most-admired survey, while Sarah Palin falls farther off the popularity radar.
Gallup has run its most-admired man and woman survey since World War II, and in the 2012 edition, Clinton and President Barack Obama kept their top positions among those asked a simple question: “What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most? And who is your second choice?”
Clinton was named as most-admired woman for the 17th time since she became a national figure in 1992. Eleanor Roosevelt held the previous record when she was named 13 times as the most-admired woman.
In 2012, Palin had just 2 percent of the polling, finishing in a fifth-place tie. Clinton had 21 percent, followed by First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Condoleezza Rice.

“I can imagine who they polled..Obama voters waiting at home for their food stamps to arrive so they can go trade it in for iPads.”
Must not be Philly. Down there, crack is the cash crop.
All I'm saying is that she should get back into the ring with the rest of them. You are content with her as an endorser of others.
I'll leave it to others to decide if I'm troll-like or not.

Now that's wishful thinking!
I don’t know if Palin will ever find a path to running for the Presidency, but I sure recognize that she is our leading republican politician in the nation.
The republican presidential candidate of 2 months ago, who has been running for president for at least 7 years and has spent close to a billion dollars promoting his name, has never been, is not, and never will be as powerful as Governor Sarah Palin.
Her leadership and effectiveness is extraordinary.
Thanks, I remember now her work for Deb. However, Mark Levin gets the credit for Cruz, along with my rowdy friends in the TX Tea Party.

You need to get a message to Senator Cruz then, because he credits Palin with his victory, and rightfully so.
“”Call it the Sarah Palin bounce: Hours after the 2008 vice presidential nominee endorsed Ted Cruz, a Republican candidate for U.S. senator from Texas, on Thursday morning, the staff at Cruz’s headquarters in Austin reported a swift and positive reaction.
Campaign manager John Drogin confirmed by email to Yahoo News that Palin’s endorsement “has added HUGE buzz to our campaign.”
“Phones are ringing, online contributions are pouring in, and supporters are more excited than ever on our social networks,” Drogin wrote, adding that he’s seen a “flood” of donations but has yet to tally them.””
“”Sarah Palin might have been sitting out this year’s Republican National Convention, but that does not mean that she has been forgotten by the party faithful in Tampa.
Especially not by Ted Cruz, who credits her endorsement with helping him beat Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst in the race for the Texas GOP Senate nomination.
While speaking with POLITICO’s Mike Allen this morning, the Texas Republican Senate nominee called Palin’s endorsement “game-changing.”
“If you look at the senate races across the country this cycle and last cycle, Governor Palin has had a game changing impact one after the other,” explained Cruz. Palin endorsed Cruz, a Tea Party favorite who shares her philosophy of liberty and limited government, just days before a wide-open May 29 primary, helping to propel Cruz into a strong second place showing. The Cruz surge provided momentum for his runoff battle with Dewhurst.

The Tea Party favorite admitted that many have referred to his victory as “improbable.” He told Allen that the reason why Palin’s endorsement has had such an enormous impact is because voters consider her a true barometer of conservatism.
“In a Republican primary, everyone claims to be conservative and voters are pretty cynical. They are tired of these candidates that sounds great on the stump. They say they are going to cut spending, they get into the office and they become spineless jellyfish,” Cruz said. “I think conservatives trust Sarah Palin that if she says this guy is a conservative, that he is a real deal.”””
Look past the MSM bias, to the media need to compare both of them at all.
Both Hillary and Sarah are waiting for something.
Question is, what?
They forgot to ask me!!!
Palin #1, clinton in the sewer!
