Barack and Michelle Obama are the most admired people in the world, according to a survey by the opinion research institute YouGov.
Billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates is now ranked the second most admired man, after sitting in first place last year.
Chinese leader and party leader Xi Jinping follows as the third most admired man, according to the survey results.
The most admired woman in the world remains Michelle Obama, with actress Angelina Jolie now in second place and the British Queen Elizabeth II in third place. Last year, US presenter Oprah Winfrey came second, Angelina Jolie third.
YouGov interviewed 45,000 people in 42 countries in a two-stage process. First, the respondents were openly asked which men and women were most admired. From these names, two lists of the 20 most frequently named men and women were then drawn up - and the lists for the individual countries were supplemented with regionally famous personalities.
Finally, from May to September 2020, people were asked who they greatly admired (with multiple selections possible) and who was the most admired (with only one single selection allowed). From this, percentages were calculated, on which the rankings were based, YouGov explained.

Depends on who you ask.
Try rural America or Benjamin Netanyahu and you’ll likely get a different result.
They didn’t poll me, or anyone I know.
What do these people have to do with the lives of the most of us to begin with?
Ask around here in The U.S. where we actually know them and you might get a different opinion.
Yick.
Gimme a freaking break.
isn’t this an online poll?
YouGov is the entity providing this opinion to the press.
My impression is that they are in the business of providing “polling data” (those quotes are intentional) that support what their customers want to hear.
See my post above...I looked up YouGov, which is who provides the “data”.
Either this is another lie or a tribute to the power of propaganda.
There is an awful lot of stupid people out there
Yes...thank you for posting that.
I am one of the YouGov participants and never received that survey. Donald Trump should be the most admired man in the world.
is Xi married to a man, like the first two?
And unless these “admired people” make money from social media clicks, all of that “admiration” won’t get them a bag of chips.
“Admired by whom?!”
Useful Idiots!
This is quite a sad statement on the state of the world.
HAHAHA People are so stupid. They said Jim Jones was a monster for the 800 who killed themselves. The Liberal Left is much worse and farther reaching. I associate them with the devil himself- Soros is the devil incarnate.
Absolutely nothing to do with us. I was respectful to him and his family because he was the President. But truth be known, he is a POS and always was. He wasn’t a natural born citizen either.
