In perhaps another (albeit mild) display of his dominance in the Republican primary process, Donald Trump tied for second place in Gallup's annual "Most Admired Man" poll. Barack Obama was first for the 8th consecutive time.

Gallup notes that:

Americans usually name the sitting U.S. president as the most admired man. The only men to win the distinction at least four times were all presidents. The tendency to name the sitting president as most admired man has acted as a cap on the number of total times a man can win the honor at eight, or the number of years elected presidents can serve.

Obama can join Eisenhower as winning most admired more than eight times if he stays relatively popular during his final year in office, having also won in 2008, the year he was elected, when incumbent President George W. Bush was unpopular.

So a second place finish is usually as good as it gets for a non-President.




Hillary Clinton finished first for "Most Admired Woman" for the 14th time in a row, and 20th time overall.
 
Does the main challenger to the presidency almost always get 2nd on election year? It seems like a standard result.
 
Wow, Hillary Clinton finished first 20 times? That's a lot. The poll's results are pretty interesting.

I'd have to research that because I'm not sure, but even if so it's definitely noteworthy because then Donald Trump is the main challenger, when he gets written off, etc, by the media and other Republicans every other day.

:no:
 
Damn, does this mean that these people are the only ones that have had >1% mentioning?
Or do they just cut off the list at one point?
 
Well, only 5% of people polled admired Trump, thank god.
I just hope the number goes down, or else America is gonna get fucked next year.
