Obama is most admired American: poll Dec 26 08:17 AM US/Eastern President-elect Barack Obama has replaced US President George W. Bush as the most admired man in America, according to a poll published Friday in the USA Today newspaper.
One-third of the 1,008 respondents surveyed named Obama as their first or second choice, with Bush falling to a distant second after seven years as the country's most-admired man.
Thirty-two percent of respondents chose Obama against five percent for Bush. It was the first time a president-elect topped the poll since Dwight Eisenhower in 1952.
The poll was conducted over telephone between December 12 and 14.
The newspaper reported that the only higher support in the history of the survey was Bush's 39 percent rating in 2001, just a few months after the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.
Among men, John McCain -- Obama's defeated Republican rival for the presidency -- ranked third and three others tied for fourth place: Pope Benedict XVI, the Reverend Billy Graham and former president Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton led the list of most-admired woman at 20 percent -- a spot she's held for 13 of the past 16 years.

LOL. I just read the headline and posted without reading any responses and just saw yours. Too funny.
I predict that will not be the case in about 6 months.
Cooking the numbers.....
Who was really first?
this is garbage.
Here's Zero at Kenohe MCAS yesterday. Not the crossed arms in the back right corner. The guy in the red and white shirt to the left deciding the mess hall food was a better deal.
Would love to compare this photo to the one with Bush holding the turkey that the loonie tune left went bananas over.
Eh...no.
Bush over Obama, yes.
You *so* owe me big time:
Give it about 6 months and that will CHANGE dramatically I promise.
And Saeah Palin?
Saw her at the White House Correspondents Dinner and the her boob job was a disaster when viewed from any angle except head on.
Where the breast meets the side, it was all puckered like the seam on a whoopie cushion (no pun intended).
This MSM is so blatant at ass kissing. It’s almost comical.
The said that during the American Revolution, about one third of Americans were Loyalists, too. I'd guess that about one third of Americans are communist sympathizers, to one degree or another, for that matter.
What in blazes does your porn have to do with this thread?
