Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivers a speech "Frontlines and Frontiers: Making Human Rights a Human Reality" at Dublin City University in Ireland in this file photo from Dec. 6, 2012.
First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Condoleezza Rice are next behind Clinton.
Behind Obama are Nelson Mandela, Mitt Romney, Billy Graham, George W. Bush and Pope Benedict XVI.
The "Most Admired Man" poll began in 1946 and was expanded to include "Most Admired Woman" in 1948.
Clinton has topped the list 17 times in the last 20 years, starting in 1993. Eleanor Roosevelt comes in second as the most "Most Admired Woman," a designation she gained 13 times.
Dwight Eisenhower was the "Most Admired Man" 12 times, the most for any man, followed by Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, who each had eight first-place finishes.
The results are based on a Gallup poll taken from Dec 19 to 22nd.

So greasy headed Hillary, beat out Marie Antoinette Moochele, astonishing, well better luck next time Moochie.
Ahh, put a sock in it Manurehead!
Both excellent choices. Prayers for Secretary Clinton.
And in other news, the Kardashians remain wildly popular personalities.
delusional,, this dried up @!$%#, will do anything to not testify, a concussion , now a bloodclot,,, and what about "whitewater"
@indahood
You've been reported you worthless POS!
Ms Clinton has more class in her little finger then you will ever have in you miserable, worthless life. You're crude, common and "small".
obama phone voters must be voting here
The article is saying Romney and GWB are among the "most admired men?" (gag)? Oh, golly gee; there must not have been enough people voting.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha. Still laughing.
As I said it is amazing that blood clots have prevented Hillary from using shampoo and she still gets #1. And she "beats out" Moochele, despite her using tax dollars to buy $2400 cocktail dresses to attend State of the Union speech, and Moochie uses shampoo, and gets #2..............come on now.
it's amazing that Manurehead's stupidity has not prevented him from continuing to post his idiotic comments, despite so many posters pointing out how wrong he is on everything. Why doesn't Manurehead just STFU?
Obama cares...
Obozo admired? Really? So was Adolph Hitler in his time. Zeig Heil all you Obozo worshippers who voted the Anti-Christ in for a 2nd term.
anti christ? hitler? you won't get paid by fox news unless you also call him a muslim. :)
A new year and even dumber liberals.
a new year and even more pathetic haters. :)
The livestock have spoken.
yes, because YOU say so. lol.
or are you referring to those who voted for romney and bush? :)
No, fawning, lickspittle, dumbsh*ts such as yourself.
lol, now THERE is an intelligent, mature answer...well, if you are 12 years old. :)
ps - "fawning"? fawning over who or what? can you kindly prove your post? you don't want to look even more like an idiot, do you, by making up 'facts"? :)
@VermontGuy
Yabecoo has been a member since 2010 and has been a hater since 2010. He dabbles in unbridled hatred of PRESIDENT OBAMA. We can only guess about his motives but given his picture we can hazard a guess as to what and who he is.
It's good to know I'm making an impact on the clueless.
oh, I full well understand yabecoo (and his ilk). He does, however, provide free entertainment here, so you have to give him credit for that.
yabecoo: yes, you are, you are "impacting" us by starting the new year off with a laugh!
now, can you kindly defend your description of me as "fawning"? I need more laughs today. :)
yabecco:
I scraped something that looked like you of the bottom of my boot this morning.
Things like you matter so little that your impact is mostly unnoticed. You, much like your failed candidate, are completely irrelevant.
If nothing else you baggers are predictable. Now be a good little Nazi and run off with your little buddies and set fire to that cross so you can dance and prance around it like it's a May Pole.
So according to you, supporters of Obama are livestock and most independents and liberals see supporters of the GOP as lemmings. Actually, I think that is a very accurate summary of what most politicians think of the American public at this point.
Based on your past comments of your praise and blind allegiance to Obama, Clinton and all things liberal, I'd say it falls in the category of "Fawning". You can yuck it up now.
ah, so your "attempt" at "proof" of my "fawning" is to merely repeat your worthless opinion. lol, yes, I will "yuck it up" now..at your expense.
can you provide us some examples of my "past commends of blind allegiance to obama"? Or should I make fun of you again when you fail epically? :)

George W. Bush? REALLY? Okay. While I agree with all of the other names considered or previously awarded, I will never ~ for all enternity ~ consider George W. Bush as a representative of any kind of intelligence, honesty, compassion or any other characteristic of something to be admired. Period.
To be honest, as much as I think he was an intellectual idiot and far too easily manipulated, to his credit he, unlike many politicians these days, tended to stick with his beliefs, so I admire that aspect of him.
Unfortunately, for the country, sticking to beliefs that are really, really bad isn't good for us.
most admired...? get real.....how ignorant can the American people really be..? what a shame.
obama is the antichrist
if you don't mention "muslim" you don't get paid by fox news.
The poll must of been all liberals which doesn't surprise me.
liberals voted for romney and bush too? how odd. :)
OMFG! Can anyone point out 1 credible accomplishment of these people?
The Obama gets the Nobel, apparently for being born. The Great Apologist continues to recieve kudos from the Leftist Press simply for breathing. Why is it that the Party of Vote Buying Handouts cannot remember perhaps the best quote of one of their own ........."Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country"? Learn it. Live by it.
Hillary has accomplished ..... What?
Point we can agree on ....... not overly impressed by Mitt or W, either. But highly thankful that it was W and not Al in office on 9/11/2001.
Seems to me the Libs are easily distracted by noise and bright colors, but the reality gets right by them.
Looks to me like those responding to the poll were more focused upon the titles than the person.
seems to me most people are easily distracted by noise and bright colors.
why are you happy that W was president on 9/11, since that ended up with us invading iraq, a HUGE disaster? seems like maybe YOu are easily distracted by noise and bright lights too...
Al would have been too "touchy-feely". Like Bubba before him, drop a few bombs on goat herders, claim success, and move on. Wasn't overly impressed by W either, just lesser of 2 evils.
Iraq? Right war, wrong reasons. Saddam needed to go. Used poison gas on the Kurds, Invaded 2 neighbors in 10 years. Countless mass graves. Kept Palastinians and Israel stirred up. Saddam himself said that he needed to maintain the appearance of having wmd to keep Iran at bey. Unfortunately, no plan for the "peace" that came after.
you have no idea how al would have reacted to 9/11. You're just assuming. 9/11 was such a shock I would assume (on my part) that any president would have done more than "just drop a few bombs".
but neither of us knows for sure, of course.
iraq? wrong war, wrong reasons. no need for an invasion.
A lot like Viet Nam.
Oh, wait. That was a Damnocrat war, and therefore justified. My bad.
These polls are far from being legitimate. They pick a certain group that they know what the results are going to be. Nothing is fair or partial in America today. No accounting for common sense and the 2 most liberal and corrupt people this media could pick. This is a forest of a poll.
They list everybody except Ron Paul who is on the list. The MSM is a joke as usual. Hillary, Bush, and Obama are nothing but criminals who don't even deserve to be on this list. Then you will say how are they criminals?Well they use drones on innocent people and you wonder why so many countries hate us. Until people actually wake up this country will be on a free fall in 2013.
why? Obviously ill-informed and no common sense voters were involved in the poll.
Who are they calling? The producers are busy working and getting something done and don't have time to answer 800 numbers for polls. Ask the Benghazi victim's families if Hillary or Obama is at the top of their list.
yeah hillary and odummer yeah there on my most admired list when im taking a crap good job evryone that voted for that traitor keep telling yourselves hes the answer how clues you people are!aww hows hillarys concusion that just happened right at time she was supposed to testify now theres some good clean politics. MORONS
lou vierceli: Are you an American??!!?? Surely, as poorly educated as you are in the most elementary of all subjects, namely, how to use your native language properly demonstrates that you must not be an American. I mean, if you cannot do something as elementary as write your native language properly why would anyone suspect that you can read it well enough to understand economics, history, politics, or government? If you are an American (which I doubt), then you must fall into that category of sorry assed, poorly educated, far right wing, extremist, fanatics who don't have a clue about the contemporary world.
jesse jackson agrees and al sharpton obama is most admired lolololo
