(Reuters) - Americans named President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the world's most admired living man and woman in 2013, according to a Gallup poll released on Monday.
Obama topped the annual list for the sixth consecutive year, a typical ranking for a sitting U.S. president, the polling organization said.
But the percentage of those surveyed who choose him as the most admired man fell to 16 percent this year, down from 30 percent in 2012.
The president's job approval rating has dropped during a year marked by a botched healthcare rollout and stalled legislative initiatives at the start of his second term.
Clinton earned the top spot among most admired women for the 12th consecutive year and 18th time overall, more than any other woman in the poll's history.
Fifteen percent of Americans surveyed gave the former first lady and U.S. senator the highest ranking, down from 21 percent who named her as the most admired woman last year, the poll showed.

I throw a brown rag and call BS on this malarky!
Depending who the Gallup obungabots polled they could get any outcome they wanted.
Welcome to Pravda/Izvestia West!
Very odd. All I can say is, the poll must have included even more vile people than zero and hillary.
Just before I scrolled down to your post I was thinking, “They must be laughing their asses off at us.:
Remember during his impeachment? It was endless poll after poll telling how much we loved him. On a daily (sometimes hourly) basis
Fortunately the dumb-ass still got impeached
These polls are crap and slanted to boost Hillary.
Uh if you wanted to do a poll with desired outcome how would you do it? If it's pro liberal results you wanted you'd only poll pro liberal areas. That is pretty much how all polling is done today.
I wish someone could point to just ONE good thine EITHER of them has ever done!?!?!?
I guess the old propaganda machine is beginning to swing into action and try to rehabilitate the images of comrades Hussein and Hildabeast. Revisionist history is being made as we speak!
No. That is the norm. The size of the poll is large. Depending upon the internals, this poll should be as they claim.
Sad state of affairs, none the less. Shows our side needs to push back away from the keyboard and get out into the neighborhoods organizing opposition to this type of push polling and promotion of the liberal agenda. Typing to the choir isn’t winning any battles, time for some ground game.
Who they trying to kid?
The Hildabeaste hasn’t looked that good in decades.
Good summary
Gosh, I forgot the most important element of the Gallop Poll: They start out with an exact count of the phones and WIC cards. At the end of the ride, they go back and collect any phones and cards thrown to the ground. That number is subtracted from the initial count. Thus far, the 3 riders have yet to dismount for those discarded items.
This HAS to be a very suck joke or else WE are a very sick country. Much sicker than I thought.
Look at all the idiotic, absurd and insulting commercials on TV, radio and the Internet that bombard us day and night. They do it because it works. People are gullible and easily fooled.
Yes, the contry is that far gone.
The power of the media propaganda machine is not to underestimated.
Seems to be the norm only for Gallup. Other pollsters have smaller error percent margins.
Uhm... don’t think so :p
Most admired what..murderers..somewhere OJ Simpson is upset he didnt make the list..and what about Casey Anthony, she can’t even catch a break either
Why do you think that they charge so much for their advertisements? They work!!
