Gallup Poll: Obama, Hillary Clinton Remain 'Most Admired'

Barack Obama edged out President Donald Trump as America’s "most admired man" in a new Gallup poll.

And Hillary Clinton was named the "most admired woman" in the survey.

Here is how the poll breaks down:

• 17 percent of those surveyed named the former president as their most admired man;
• 14 percent said Trump;
• 3 percent named Pope Francis;
• 2 percent named the Rev. Billy Graham;
• 2 percent said Sen. John McCain;
• 2 percent named Tesla founder Elon Musk;
• Others receiving votes included Vice President Mike Pence, Sen. Bernie Sanders and Microsoft Founder Bill Gates.

It marks the 10^th consecutive year Obama has finished in first place in the annual poll, Gallup noted.

The "most admired woman" polling shaped up like this:

• 9 percent for Clinton;
• 7 percent for Michelle Obama;
• 4 percent for Oprah Winfrey;
• 3 percent for Sen. Elizabeth Warren;
• 2 percent for German Chancellor Angela Merkel;
• 2 percent for Queen Elizabeth;
• 1 percent for Melania Trump;
• Other receiving votes included Prince William’s wife, Kate; Beyonce and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

"The 2017 survey marks the 16^th consecutive year Clinton has been the most admired woman," said Jeffrey Jones, a Gallup senior editor. "She has held the title 22 times in total, more than anyone else."

And he added: A quarter of Americans cannot name a man or a woman they admire most. Nine percent name a relative or friend as the most admired man, and 13 percent do so for the most admired woman."

The survey, conducted Dec. 4-11, sampled 1,049 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
