PRINCETON, N.J. -- Americans again name Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama the woman and man living anywhere in the world they admire most. Both win by wide margins over the next-closest finishers, Malala Yousafzai for women and Pope Francis and Donald Trump for men.
---------
The 10 most admired women are an eclectic mix of political figures (Clinton, fellow 2016 presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin), human rights leaders (Yousafzai of Pakistan and Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar), and television personalities (Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres). Queen Elizabeth of England and Michelle Obama, who hold largely ceremonial positions in the government, also finished among the leading women.

Clinton Named Most Admired More Than Any Other Woman or Man

Clinton has been the most admired woman each of the last 14 years, and 20 times overall, occupying the top spot far longer than any other woman or man in Gallup's history of asking the most admired question. Since 1993, the year she was first named most admired woman, Clinton has stayed in the news as first lady, U.S. senator, secretary of state and a two-time presidential candidate.

Former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt was named most admired woman 13 times during her lifetime, putting her second to Clinton in terms of first-place finishes. Dwight Eisenhower has 12 No. 1 finishes, the most for any man. Obama, the most admired man each of the last eight years, is now tied with Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan for top overall finishes among men.

1. If I'd participated, those would have been my choices too. <3

[Alfresco]

2. ...

Yes, me too.

3. Was it an Internet poll? nt

[NurseJackie]

13. It was a telephone survey. (Info at source link ... bottom of page.)

Survey Methods

Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted Dec. 2-6, 2015, with a random sample of 824 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. All reported margins of sampling error include computed design effects for weighting.

Each sample of national adults includes a minimum quota of 60% cellphone respondents and 40% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by time zone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods.

4. Hillary is simply AMAZING.

She is a true role model.

[99Forever]

5. Hillary Clinton is no Eleanor Roosevelt.

Not by a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot.

[66 dmhlt]

7. And Bernie is no FDR

Not by a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong shot.

[Hortensis]

49. I think he would be if he could. The times are wrong.

Most political scientists feel it just couldn't happen now. Maybe something else, but not "FDR."

[Hortensis]

48. Eleanor Roosevelt was no Eleanor Roosevelt, and

she for sure wasn't any Frances Perkins.

This isn't to say I don't like Eleanor Roosevelt and appreciate her contributions, but she was no Frances Perkins, no matter how much the public image conflates the two under her name. There are a number of reasons it's Frances's face we speak of putting on an important piece of currency.

[99Forever]

52. Alrightttttttty then

[demwing]

6. Bernie was cheated

I kid...

[Lil Missy]

51. It's a conspiracy against him that he wasn't named.

I heard it on the DU.

[gordyfl]

8. Just Lack of Knowledge

My vote would have gone to Malala. But most Americans polled probably never heard of her.

Time Magazine "Person of the Year" PM Angela Merkel is probably unknown by most Americans.
I once repeated a funny joke about Angela Merkel concerning the World Cup Soccer. Nobody understood the joke because they didn't know who she was.

So, I'd say Hillary wins by default - de' fault of the American people lack of knowledge.

[ejbr]

10. Then one is left to wonder

where she may fall on the least admired public female figure. Sure Kim Kardashian would have the top spot on lock, but then who?

[gordyfl]

12. Good Point

"Least Admired Woman" - Hillary would probably make it to the list of finalists. "And the runner up is..."

[MoonRiver]

34. Wow, that's an amazing level of wishful thinking!

[ejbr]

37. I don't think so

Kim Kardashian would be number one

[leftofcool]

11. Yea, Americans are just so stupid (sarcasm)

[pangaia]

20. Americans, unfortunately, ARE uneducated, unaware, uninterested,untutored

uncultured and too often uninteresting.

I mean this list also included---
Carly Fiorina, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin..

[artislife]

22. It is actually a sad comment on what it takes to break the American consciousness as a woman. nt

[pangaia]

23. It is actually a sad comment

on what it takes to break the American consciousness as anything !

[artislife]

29. True! nt

[bowens43]

9. and still she is morally and ethically unfit to lead our nation.......

Americans are not the best judge of character.

[Alfresco]

18. But lead she does and wll. :-)

[OldRedneck]

14. There most be some mistake

The voting was rigged to overlook Sarah Palin. Right??

[JoePhilly]

15. This is going to upset some folks.

[riversedge]

17. As I look upstream on this thread, you are spot on.

[stonecutter357]

19. good!

[riversedge]

16. Congratulations Hillary. Good job.

[pangaia]

33. She did beat out Carly, Sarah and Condi.

I'll give her that. BUT only 13% voted for her.

[ybbor]

21. Wow!

Only 87% don't admire her! That's awesome!

[Alfresco]

24. ...

[bvf]

25. Was Ethel Mertz the model for this?

[Alfresco]

28. Model for Norman Rockwell's 'Rosie the Riveter' was Mary Doyle Keefe.

[bvf]

40. I know all about Rosie the Riveter, thanks.

But the woman in that poster looks more like Ethel Mertz than Hillary Clinton.

[daleanime]

26. Cool for her, but I have to worry....

where are the other role models? If she's the only option that doesn't say too much good about us right now.

[Iliyah]

27. This, K & R

for both HRC and Pres O!

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. Why the hell is Condoleeza Rice on the list?

Has she done anything since the Bush adminstration?

[Alfresco]

32. Questions - Comments Link

[lunamagica]

31. K&R. TWENTY YEARS IN AROW. Get it? TWENTY YEARS IN A ROW

That's what the real world thinks of her.

But of course, those people are low-information, ignorant...they don't come even close to a tiny group on DU.

This tiny group knows everything and is always right

They know all about the evilness of Hillary...the rest? They ate all wrong.

Like it or not...TWENTY YEARS IN A ROW!

[pangaia]

35. "That's what the real world thinks of her."

"But of course, those people are low-information, ignorant...."

It is not the real world. It is Americans, who are perhaps the most poorly informed citizenry in the '1st' world. I mean Sarah, Carly and Condi are also on this list and .. and OPRAH !

And 13% is hardly a rousing endorsement.

[lunamagica]

41. I meant "the real world" as opposed to DU. You have such low opinion of Americans that I have no

idea how you expect a "revolution" from people like that

[pangaia]

42. Education.

[LuvLoogie]

53. In The Revolution's re-education camps.

[Number23]

47. Wow, somebody's upset about this! Posted in this thread more than the OP has

Chasing everyone around that thinks this is a good thing. What a winning strategy and excellent use of one's time.

[NastyRiffraff]

44. 13% IS a "rousing endorsement

when you consider choosing from all the well-known women in the world.

I know some people hate this, but how would you react if BERNIE had won Most Admired Man with 13%?

Congrats to the president and the next president!

[pangaia]

45. Hillary has been in the 'public eye' for, what..23-25 years?

Bernie-- a few months.

And if it is worth anything he beat Hillary in the TIME Person of the Year award something like 10 to 1.

She was also below Obama, Trump and Malala Yousafzai, and the Pyuup( as Inspector Clouseau would say).

[Hortensis]

50. Bernie's been "in the public eye" for well over 35 years,

just that nobody paid attention outside Vermont until he surprisingly got himself elected to the national Congress about a quarter century ago. For nearly a decade , he constantly promoted his name to the public, making films of himself, doing speaking engagements, writing innumerable articles for newspapers, as he tried but failed to be elected to office. Then he became a mayor for a decade or so, then went to the House in DC for longer than that, then got elected to the Senate, where he remained pretty much unnoticed, except when pointed out as a "socialist" curiosit, ever since -- until your past few "months."

This stuff isn't secret, Pan. If you're interested in the actual dates, look them up.

[MoonRiver]

36. Truly nuff said!

[xocet]

38. One might want to actually read the article. Beyond that, this is just fame generating fame.

[BlueCheese]

55. To be absolutely fair...

it's 20 times total, not 20 times in a row. It's only 14 times in a row.

[BooScout]

39. She's the woman I admire most!

Well done Hillary!

[pangaia]

43. One of the woman I admire most is Mexican,

owns a Mexican restaurant in NY state and has had to struggle through ten times the difficulties as Hillary Clinton.

[Number23]

46. Malala will get it when she officially becomes a woman. She is already a force to be reckoned with

and I predict nothing but (even more) greatness from her.

[okasha]

56. Agreed.

She is already awesome.

[R B Garr]

54. K&R!

Impressive -- occupying the top spot for 14 years straight and 20 times total.

[Cha]

57. Love it out in the Real World!
