Ex-President Barack Obama is more admired than President Donald Trump in all of nearly three dozen countries featured in a new survey, except for one—Russia.

In a shortlist of admired men compiled by YouGov’s 2018 “World’s Most Admired” survey, released Wednesday, Obama ranked higher than Trump in 34 countries, while Trump came out ahead of Obama only in Russia, and, even then, only by a single spot—eleventh versus twelfth.

Obama grabbed the top spot overall in 19 countries, including the United States, South Korea, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Trump ranked second in the U.S., eleventh in South Korea, thirteenth in Mexico and seventh in the United Kingdom. The commanders in chief were compared to other admired men including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Bill Gates, Pope Francis and the Dalai Lama.

9. Which of these does YouGov regard as an actress, singer or TV presenter?

"Entertainers dominate the female top twenty, with 14 of the most admired women being actresses, singers or TV presenters"

https://today.yougov.com/news/2018/04/11/worlds-most-admired-2018/

So that should be 6 who don't fall in that category. But we have, in their top 20:

Michelle Obama
Queen Elizabeth II
Hillary Clinton
Malala Yousafzai
Angela Merkel
Theresa May
Elizabeth Warren

So which one of those 7 is being called a TV presenter?

10. This headline sounds like a referendum on humanity.

Fortunately, it's just an indicator of what's going wrong with Newsweek. What's next week? "A poll says Pope Francis is more admired than Bashr Al-Assad?"
