Obama edges out Trump as most-admired manHillary Clinton keeps title as most-admired woman for 22nd time in annual Gallup survey.

President Donald Trump is the second-most admired man in the world among Americans, joining a small group of incumbent presidents who failed to win Gallups top distinction while in office.
Trumps predecessor, former President Barack Obama, and vanquished general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, retain their titles as the man and woman Americans most admire, according to the Gallup poll released Wednesday morning.
Obama edged out Trump, 17 percent to 14 percent, to win his 10th most-admired title. He won the year he was elected president, each year in the White House and his first year out of office. Only former President Dwight Eisenhower has won Gallups most-admired more times than Obama (that would be 12).
Clinton narrowly bested former first lady Michelle Obama, 9 percent to 7 percent, retaining her honor for the 16th consecutive year. The former senator, secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee has won 22 times overall, the most ever.

(47,953 posts)Trump is the first first-year President to not win this. And I would have thought all those MAGA types, the ones who give him 30% support no matter what, and call him 'God-Emperor", would have been higher than 14%.

(17,219 posts)... if this poll canvasses everybody, then the 50% of the population who didn't vote is included in the sample. So the support for Mr Trump shrinks (presuming the non-voters are not split evenly), approximately by half, which makes the 14% more explicable.
This does presume that there were few Trump admirers among that 50% of non-voters, which makes one wish that just 1% of them had gotten off their duffs and voted.
