It's about the most admired man. Putin is much more admired globally than Obama.
Well, not necessarily.
But it's true that Putin is the pin-up boy beloved by the right wing "American patriots" who now support the former KGB chief and current dictator over the US president.
While I don't agree with many of his policies President Obama is a man who went from basically nothing to go to Harvard and eventually become president. I would say that is an admirable achievement.
I would say he is and has been a carefully groomed puppet of some powerful people.
That's always the question when you don't like the results.
The polling methodology, seems like standard Gallup methodology, is in the link.
Not really katzpaw
Polling can be manipulated very easily.
By how the questions are asked.
By what geographic areas they are asked in.
By who they ask.
Polling is not a very scientific true result.
For 7 years in a row Americans have named Obama as the man they admire most.
For 17 of the past 18 years Hillary Clinton has been the most admired woman.
Most Admired Man 2014:
19% Barack Obama
6% Pope Francis
3% Bill Clinton
2% Billy Graham
2% George Bush
Most Admired Woman 2014:
12% Hillary Clinton
8% Oprah Winfrey
5% Malala Yousafzai
4% Condaleeza Rice
3% Michelle Obama
This is totally laughable! I doubt that these people are "most admired;" rather, they may be the most recognizable names. There is just no way that Obama is the "most admired" in America. His poll numbers were in the tank right before the election. How does that square with this? It doesn't. And now they claim he has suddenly risen to 45%?? How can that be, in just a little less than two months? I just isn't possible, and Americans are not that fickle.
This poll smells like a dead fish!
It appears like the ppl being polled where asked how they would rank this rather small list instead of asking who they admired the most. I believe most Americans would agree with the Time magazine article listing the Ebola fighters as the most admirable for 2014. Obama didn't do jack for America in 2014. His biggest accomplishment was giving free social security benefits to illegals.
How can you admire a president who got bullied by Russia and ISIS?
