Former president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama side by side topped the "world's most admired" list for men and women, according to a 2020 YouGov poll.
The poll surveyed over 45,000 people in 42 countries and territories, the London-based public opinion data analytics firm said on its website. Since first starting the poll in 2014, this is the first time former President Obama topped the list over Bill Gates and other political and economic leaders, according to YouGov.
Obama is closely followed by Gates, who is trailed by Xi Jinping (3rd), Elon Musk (9th), Russian President Vladimir Putin (12th), and President Donald Trump who is ranked at 15. A number of sports stars and celebrities were also named on the list including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Michael Jordan, Jackie Chan, and Keanu Reeves.
