Gallup has released its list of "Most Admired Woman and Most Admired Man" living anywhere in the world, and for the 11th year in a row, Hillary Clinton tops the list of women, while Barack Obama is the most admired man for the fifth year in a row.

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.

This is admiration based on name recognition. What a waste of time. Story followed by mindless comments of Feisty and Ms. Piggy, a further waste of time.
I'm pretty sure the Pope has pretty good name recognition...
So what.
So what? So it means your crowd are a pack of losers, that's what. Dubya will go down in history as one of the worst presidents of the postwar era, possibly the last century. Notice that I don't rant how the Right does that "Obama is the worst president in history", making these absurd, over the top claims just becuase you dislike someone. But I'll be happy to put money down that the history books are not going to be overly kind to the swaggering, Texas gunslinger.
The poll was taken in China
who was polled?.......lobotomy patients????
Now there's logic for ya, you whine incessantly about the "liberal media" and yet you spend your time on here Paddy. What kind of convoluted would make you do that??? Why not spend your days reading all the propaganda that Faux Nuze/aka The Hooters Network pukes up on a daily basis? Old Roger Ailes would never lie to you, now would he? Too bad Fux has been banned in Canada for masquerading as a "news" organization when in fact it's a 24/7 mouthpiece for the GOP/New Nazi party. Oh yea, that's right, Fux doesn't allow you to post responces because they're always right. LMFAO
HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLA!!! Wonder if you have gotten tickets for the Inauguration Parties??? Damn but that drubbing you clowns took on Nov 6th has got to sting pretty badly. But not to worry fella, I feel your pain.
It wou be an honor for Obama, Hillary and the others if the incompetent liar Bush wasn't on it. Who admires him? Feeble minded rednecks.
Well, with an approval rating of 27% what could possibly cause them to include Dubya on this list. I hear he's currently hiding out in the federal witness protection program. Even his own party did not want him to show his face at the GOP convention. Ouch! What a bum and to think we had to endure 8 years of that cretini. Well, in fact he really was only the Vice President, we all know who was pulling the strings. LOL None other that Dick "We'll be greeted as liberators" Cheney. The greatest military tactical genius of the last 100 years. Now that boy knows how to run a war. Move over Patton, move over Rommel, Dick "5 draft deferment" Cheney is calling the shots now.
Feel free to research here and let us know the date when GW had a 97% approval rating. http://www.gallup.com/poll/124922/presidential-approval-center.aspx
this is NBC B?S pole
Absolutely agree with the poll. In a day and age when the only thing the GOP or conservatives can offer is wacko, extremist, intolerant, arithmetically challenged, johnny get your gun, hate gays, women and melanin ideologies, it's refreshing to see people recognize level headed, balanced, intelligent and tolerant leaders. After all, Obama won!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....boo yah!!!
2013 will force us to watch the GOP in a slow motion train wreck like a snake's body thrashes wildly after its head is lopped off. Yukky.
The real shame is the loser GOP is still part of the government. Let us all feel sorry for the red states, with their GOP majority and highest rates of food stamps and unemployment payments. Ironic things for moronic states.
What a foolish useless poll Sounds like the Nobel Peace Prize of the Bill Clinton BJ award
Oh well, you right wing red-neck lunatics are still in shock after Obama won re-election, and your brains (assumption) are trying to re-wire the facts.
Live with it, eat it, and get indigestion. But you already have indigestion.
oooh, someone is still ticked that the clintons are still admired. lol.
Admired for screwing his intern? Wow what integrity and virtue! Please go away clintons you have done enough damage.
musician by night- If you actually believe anything you just posted, you need to get back on your meds.Pronto!!
Obama and Hillary...most admired...that's are deep insight into the American middle and poor classes...
More evidence Republicans have concluded they lost 3 of the last 4 electoral cycles because the wrong people voted.
No one polled me or anyone else I know. Only goes to show the collective fugue state that many Americans are in as they sit in front of the TV's and are mesmerized by "shiny things", while the country goes down the sh#@tter!
well, a poll only has to hit a thousand or so to be statistically significant, so not having polled "you or anyone you know" is statistically meaningless. :)
True dat!
Congratulations to both. They have my vote too!
I'm one republican that would gladly have voted for either Clinton.
No offense to Hillary, hope she returns to DEMAND 25TH AMENDMENT ENFORCEMENT...but..as for Republicans being "unpopular"...it's..
Only if the "Unreal Republicans" reman stuck in triple-down-reverse (the FDR-opposing, Social Security opposing,"we'll do what we want with our slaves/prisoners" of pre-Eisenhower/Nixon days) and give-up the "Real Republican Trophy" of being the first to ever make Social Security Work (Solvent), as we accomplished with Reagan, using prototypes of these Unfication Science Upgrades...failing to "point out" that it was Obama's failure to implement the Upgrades (a portion of which he was illegally using to collect highest-ever-sums from illegal pharmaceuticals and others) that caused the "fiscal cliff" and his desire to keep the lion's share of our "Growth Trust Funds" (Grants and Low/No Interest Loans) "giveaways" as his own that's funding "foreign powers" at a fortifying trillion+ a year, as we speak, that's responsible for the problem...that he now wants to hold the poor, disabled, and elderly hostage over (by threatening to deny or delay their benefits) until he gets double-payment-taxes/more-taxes to loot and give to RICO Act Violating Organizations within our borders....with 700,000+ and counting votes/signaures to impeach, remove, disqualify, and repeal all opposition, the Republcans CAN'T LOSE IN THE NEW YEAR, if they get-back with REAL REPUBICANISM and get-off "false/fraudulent CONSERVATISM" (of other than the fiscal-conservative variety)!!!
The ONLY "Deal" is one that "cuts" the "growth programs" (low/no interest loans and grants) that were created to fund the Unification Science Upgrades that Dr. Einstein predicted....ALL OTHER "CUTS" ARE THEFTS OF FEDERAL INSURANCE BENEFITS (UNDER THE LAST OF DR. EINSTEIN'S 1904-RELATIVITY UPGRADES, THE 1948 STANDARD INSURANCE PROVISIONS, TITLE 22 IN MOST STATES)....and as we proved these Upgrades work with the prototypes used to eliminate Social Security's deficit in the 1980s, we proved that any "new taxes" will not only illegally-fund these "3X+ crime and debt producing organizations within our borders" (like funding non-USDA grocers, non-USP pharmacies, and non-Standardized insurers), but, be a "double tax" for measures already taxed for, as well as funding the illegal/non-upgraded foreign loans that have been illegally-entered into to "cover" the debts produced by the internal-organizational-dysfunction that these prototypes corrected in the1980s, illegally-paid to "foreign powers" at a trillion+ a year, presently (the same International Crime Strategy used before WWI and WWII, before Japan bombed Pearl Harbor upon FDR's 1935 Default upon such illegal-foreign-loans)!!! {IT'S A CRIME NOT TO "CUT" THESE "GROWTH FUNDS" TURNED INTO "RICO ACT ORGANIZATION FUNDING WITHIN THE U.S.", UNTIL UNIFICATION SCIENCE UPGRADES ARE IMPLEMENTED; NO NEW TAXES REQUIRED}
And for those who want to eliminate the deficit, this year (12 months), whether they do the job in Congress or not....here' the "new game" that goes with the Unification Science Upgrades...

The next talk show, community event, or tv game show to sweep the nation (and world), using the new Unification Science Discoveries and Upgrades in Government, the first to eliminate Relativity-Based-Social-Security's-Deficit in history (obstructed bythe same mechanisms that obstructed Dr. Einstein's 1904-Relativity Upgrades--- USDA, USP, .999 Fine, Insurance Standards, the FDA, Federal Reserve and it's then-deficit-eliminating "Gold Standard Certifcates"--- resulting in Civil-War-Crime-Levels in U.S. Streets,WWI and WWII)....instead, we'll bring the cure to them (using Independent Establisment Charters we'll provide, as needed, and otherwise) to have them "TAKE THE UPGRADE EXAM" (at www.PRLog.Org/10439874 ; giving them superior qualifications to any other jurors/employees in the country), swear their "Support and Defense of the U.S. Constitution", and conduct "Grand Jury Processions" ("U.S. Grade") and make and issue "True Bills", as appropriate....lowering crime and debt rates to nill in the communities affected by these grand-jury-sabotaging-attacks that've produced our deficits (and preventably-elevated crime rates/deaths).Send Per Diem, Allowances (per show/event), travel expenses, accomodations, and any support crew (and we'll get started on the historic, taped versions,of these life saving events,today).... Already copyrighted and ready to air....The "Games" the country is based upon (from Christ's 12 Disciples)---teaching the principles adult Americans MUST know to ensure their public grand juries are functioning properly (and jurors are doing what they'repaid to do, not stealing their tax-paid-paychecks and further-expanding deficits), in groups of 13+ !

The polling is skewed towards the leftist biased takers,eh?
That card worked so well a couple months back that ya'll are playing it again?
These polls and news stories are all made up anymore ! The media has became a joke with people like Engle kidnapping himself to WMD !!! I know of no decent American that likes obama or clinton ! clinton is the one giving arms and aid to the many al-Qaida groups that are killing Americans and beheading Christians in Syria ! Her actions caused our Amb. Stevens to be raped and murdered by her savage boyfriends in Libya ! obama has sunk America to third world status ! We borrow money we do not have to give foreign aid to terrorist who in turn kill us !!!! It is amazing how stupid people are !
This poll and the liberal comments on this board are proof that obots don't let reality get in the way of their lovefest for Obama
I Wonder What All Those Cupcakes Are Saying / Thinking With Respect To Hillary After They Played Their Cards And Made Their Negative Comment On The Lybian Issue -- The Hearings She Couldn't Make Because Of "REAL" Her Medical Status?
I Don't Hear Any Negative Stuff Now -- What's Up McCain & Graham -- Don't You Want To Kick Her When She's Really Down & Drag Her Through The Streets Like You Did To Rice? You Folks Can Dish It Out -- But Can't Take It?
What -- Not Even A Get Well Card -- Sorry -- I Forgot -- Your Above That!
she's a lying sack of excrement, and all she wants is political power.
We admire these crooks? Read Culture of corruption by my favorite Michelle Malkin and then you will see the real character of these cowards.
Poll a handful of people with probably a rigged set of questions.
Either that or there are a very large number of people that are brainwashed
beyond any help.
Be honest, lets rename this list, THE ONLY FAMOUS PEOPLE YOU KNOW, because you are too uneducated, uninterested to find that there are a myriads of people in the world who's worth of our admiration.
Name one.
Wow, what a lame a ss poll. They must've polled only socialist dumbocrats
admired by whom? full disclosre of admirers please.
Kill the @!$%#

"Amen, JoAnne. It amazes me how folks who may disagree with the policy of the current President do not articulate their disagreement and propose a counter argument but, rather, resort to name calling and derogatory references of his family."
And, so does your side Ceelle, and so does your side, why don't they look at themselves in the mirror.
