Clinton soars, Palin plummets in most-admired survey
http://news.yahoo.com ^ | 01/03/2013 | National Constitution Center

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.

Ah Yes, the Young Muslim girl who stood up to the Taliban and almost paid with her life but over came it.

Chigga pleaze!

Hillary Helped Provide the Taliban and Al Queda those weapons they used to shoot that poor girl.

So who made who famous?

Happy (?) New Year, it's been a long time since we've been on a Palin thread.

So unpopular, yet so written about, kind of interesting..........I wonder if she will reload and reenter.

Funny, Palin is tied with our last GOP president and last GOP nominee, all with 2% each, in this silly poll.

A couple of has-been Republicans come in at 1% (Paul and McCain), but funny, I don’t see a single other prospective 2016 nominee—Rubio, Christie, Ryan, etc.—even reaching the 1% mark.

Palin is living her LIFE and enjoying it. Can the rest of these b****es say the same? I doubt it. Can the rest of them say they are enjoying life with a REAL spouse, real children, real grandkids, and a healthy body?

Nope.

Palin doesn’t owe the idiot American population a damn thing. Not one damn thing.

Yahoo! is run by an Obama bundler and committed Crony-Commie.

No surprise here.

You're damn right "We're done!" as long as freedom lovers and freedom warriors in America fail to look past the headlines and the story and see how average Americans on yahoo are responding to this!! I only read the first two pages of first-arriving comments, and sentiment was EASILY five to one against liberalism, EASILY five to one of folks who think pretty much the way we think on FR, that Clinton and liberalism stink and that the media is biased.

And YOU still think liberals aren't the minority??? WAKE THE HELL UP and start reading beyond FR.

Conservatives who think, "We're done!!! Most Americans are children who voted for Santa Claus! Most Americans are idiots and leeches who want socialism!" are A BIGGER part of the problem than the liberals, for crying out loud!!!

Anybody who preaches the gospel that most Americans are stupid losers and socialists, should move to France, because as long as they stay here, the are part of the problem. START HAVING MORE FAITH IN YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN and stop letting yourself be stupidly bamboozled by the MSM, for the love of God!

Palin had absolutely nothing to do with Cruz winning. Not one Texan voted for him because she endorsed him. Also, Perry promptly told her to get the heck out of Texas and stay out of Texas politics...After he said that, he then went to at least three states to endorse candidates there.
