Obama was named by 30 percent of respondents in Gallup’s annual poll, while 2 percent named former President George W. Bush or failed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and 1 percent each picked former President Bill Clinton, former President George H.W. Bush, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) or retiring Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas).
No leader from the world of business made the Top 10 list. Last year’s list included Warren Buffett, Donald Trump and Bill Gates.
For most admired woman, 21 percent named Clinton and 5 percent named first lady Michelle Obama. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was named by 3 percent and 2 percent named former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Clinton has been named most admired woman a record 17 times, four more times than former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
