The Republican/Democrat split at the bottom is interesting - with Obama and Hillary on both Republican and Democratic leaning respondents' lists. Republican and Republican leaning respondents also listed Condi Rice, Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly, Ben Carson, and GW Bush.
It is still plain everyday stupid, in fact the example shows how flawed these types of polls are. I don't care what your party affiliation is. That isn't the point, the point is the poll is a buch of crap...plain and simple. But if you want to get all excited and are happy, enjoy it... Just remember how many people were polled for starters and think of how many choices each of us would have. I can't imagine coming up with a name of the most admired person in the world...most just name the name they hear the most.
Look, if someone asked me who I admired most in the world. I would say my mother without reservation. If I was to continue down the list of names, it would be other family members and friends. I don't know who the hell these people are who genuinely admire the lying warmonger Obama over his own parents, or relatives, or any of his friends.
For that matter, who in their right ****ing mind admires Hilary Clinton more than his own mother? Seriously.
If I was to make a list of women I admire most. A celebrity or politician wouldn't crack the top 50.
These kinds of polls are absolute insanity, and have no relationship whatsoever with reality.
The polls should merely be "What famous person do you like the most?".
It is a popularity contest, and is completely useless. Who cares? Are we all back in high school or something?
I agree. I admire my wife, my daughter, and my mother more than any named on that list. At least Beyonce isn't on the list.
I can't believe that this is the absolute best Gallup can do.
So much recognition for someone who hasn't accomplished anything in his life. Either this has been a slow news year or this country doesn't have any heroes anymore. That's sad that politicians (and, lately, bad ones) are people that anyone would admire.
The same people who scream and faint when they catch a glimpse of THE ONE.......are the people who voted in this poll.
The thread is about Obama, not the shirtless Putin, stay on track.

For the 7th year - Obama is the most admired man in the world - Gallup
