U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were named by Americans as the Most Admired Man and Most Admired Woman living today in any part of the world, in a Gallup poll. Clinton has been the Most Admired Woman for each of the last 10 years, and Obama has been the Most Admired Man four years in a row.

Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, and Condoleezza Rice are next on the list of Most Admired women. The four men who follow Obama on the Most Admired list are George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Billy Graham, and Warren Buffett.

Gallup has asked Americans to name the Most Admired Man and Most Admired Woman almost every year since 1948.

Hillary Clinton has now topped the list of Most Admired women a total of 16 times since 1993. There have only been three years since 1993 in which she was not number one on the list: she finished second to Mother Teresa in 1995 and 1996, and to Laura Bush in 2001.

Gallup says that no other woman has been named Most Admired Woman as many times as Clinton. Eleanor Roosevelt is second in the number of Most Admired wins with 13, followed by Margaret Thatcher, Jacqueline Kennedy, and Mother Teresa.
