President Obama Is The Most Admired Man In The World

Every year since 1948, *Gallup asks Americans to name the man and
woman living anywhere in the world they admire most.
This year's poll was
conducted December 5-8, and for the 6th year in a row, Obama has been
named the Most Admired Man.
Yes, that's Most Admired Man, over Senator Ted Cruz and former
President George Bush and empty chair man Clint Eastwood and the
President won over Mitt Romney. Again.
Of course, it's a trend that the sitting President wins the Most
Admired category, and even George W. Bush won it year after year when
he was in office.
But Hillary Clinton was often the Most Admired Woman while Bush was
President.
The top ten Most Admired Men this year include formerPresidents George
W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter.
Clint EastwoodandTed Cruzfinished in the top 10 for the first time, at
1% toBush's 4% to Obama's 16%.
Right wing nemesis Hillary Clinton has been named Most Admired
Woman 18 times, "more than any other woman in Gallup's history,
including each of the last 12 years."
This year she won with 15%. Next up isOprah Winfrey at 6%, Michelle
Obama at 5% and Sarah Palin at 5%, followed byCondoleezza Rice and
