Poll: Trump ties with Pope on ‘most admired’ list
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama are this year’s most admired public figures, according to a new poll, but they’ve got some notable company: Donald Trump.
Gallup released Monday its annual survey of admired world figures and Clinton and Obama topped the list — with 13% picking Clinton and 17% picking Obama. But Trump returned to the list for the first time since 2011, and with the support of 5% of respondents, the same number who picked Pope Francis.
Clinton has topped the list more frequently than any other woman in the history of the survey, which was first taken in 1948. She has been picked as the most admired woman 20 times, compared to Eleanor Roosevelt (13 times), Margaret Thatcher (six times) and Jacqueline Kennedy (five times).
