Americans named President Obama and Hillary Clinton as the most admired man and woman in the world, according to a Gallup poll [ http://www.gallup.com/poll/187922/clinton-admired-woman-record-20th-time.aspx ] released on Monday, with Donald Trump tying Pope Francis as the second most admired man.
The sitting president is typically selected in the annual poll as the most admired man, and Mr. Obama, who was named as the first or second choice 17 percent of the time, was atop the list for the eighth year in a row. Mrs. Clinton, who was named 13 percent of the time, has been the top woman in the poll in each of the last 14 years and 20 times over all.
Malala Yousafzai, the 18-year-old Pakistani education activist, came in second behind Mrs. Clinton with 5 percent, followed by Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama, both with 4 percent. Carly Fiorina, Queen Elizabeth II and Angela Merkel followed, with each earning 2 percent.
Among the men, Pope Francis and Mr. Trump each earned 5 percent, followed by Bernie Sanders with 3 percent and Bill Gates with 2 percent. Tied for seventh place were the Dalai Lama and George W. Bush.

Since Gallup began asking the open-ended question in 1948, Mrs. Clinton has been the top choice more than any other woman, followed by a former first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, who was named the most admired woman 13 times. Dwight Eisenhower, the former president, was the top male choice 12 times, the only man to be named more than eight times [Obama, Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan the men who have been named eight times ( http://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/gallup-most-admired-poll-2015-217152 )].
