WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Barack Obama and Donald Trump are tied this year as the most admired man. It is Obama's 12th time in the top spot versus the first for Trump. Michelle Obama is the most admired woman for the second year in a row.
Each year since 1948, Gallup has asked Americans to name, in an open-ended fashion, which man and woman living anywhere in the world they admire most. This year's results are based on a Dec. 2-15 poll. Americans' choice for most admired man this year is sharply divided along party lines: 41% of Democrats name Obama, while 45% of Republicans choose Trump.
Relatively few Democrats choose Trump and relatively few Republicans pick Obama, while independents' choices are divided about equally between the two men. After Obama and Trump, no other man was mentioned by more than 2% of respondents.
The remainder of the top 10 for men this year includes former President Jimmy Carter, businessman Elon Musk, philanthropist and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Pope Francis, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, California Rep. Adam Schiff, the Dalai Lama, and investor Warren Buffett.

All socialists but Trump. Yeah that’s not rigged.
hope it’s too late
A veritable smorgasbord for liberals.
Obama’s supporters must be easily impressed. From where I stand the only thing he did in 2019 is buy a multi-million dollar house on Martha’s Vineyard.
This poll is nothing but name recognition. Always has been and always will be.
Do we believe this, or do we believe the sample was massaged to get Obama up to Trump?
Luckily for the Maobamas, his mere words cause sea waters to retreat.
Right. If it’s a “tie”, you know that Trump won!
clickbait - I am starting to wonder if they even bother doing polls and just make crap up. be interesting to see what transparency/auditing safe guards polling firms have - I’m guessing none
Epitomizes the fractured state of our country: Half the population admires a damn Marxist Muslim while the other half admires a true American patriot. Does not bode well for the future of our Republic.
Exactly. Can't believe anybody takes these things seriously.
So half the people admire a pot-smoking, fellatio-indulging America-hating, m*slim-loving marxist? The same half that voted for him?
