Obama/Clinton, 2010's Most Admired

[ChiTownVenture]

December 27, 2010 PRINCETON, NJ -- President Barack Obama is Americans' Most Admired Man of 2010, substantially ahead of the former presidents, iconic religious leaders, and others who fill out the top 10 list. Obama first became Americans' Most Admired Man in 2008, shortly after his election as the nation's 44th president, and has held the title since then.

Most Admired Man -- 2010 Top 10

Obama is the runaway favorite for Most Admired Man among Democrats nationwide: 46% choose him, followed by 7% who pick Bill Clinton and 5% Nelson Mandela. Obama also leads among independents, with 17%, but ranks second among Republicans behind George W. Bush.

Clinton Continues Reign as Most Admired Woman

Hillary Clinton is the Most Admired Woman this year, her ninth consecutive year at No. 1.

In fact, the order of the top six women named in 2010 is identical to 2009, with Sarah Palin, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, Condoleezza Rice, and Queen Elizabeth following Clinton.

Clinton has dominated the Most Admired Woman title for most of the past two decades, earning 15 No. 1 rankings since her first appearance on the list in 1992. She joins Eleanor Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as first ladies whose strong popularity has extended well beyond her husband's presidency, although, given Clinton's post-White House political career, perhaps for different reasons.

Obama/Clinton 2012??

I know Hillary has said she is not running for public office again, but I wonder if 2016 would bring a Presidential run.

This survey is also surprising compared to Obama's approval ratings.

My vote for most admired are others:

1. General Amos Commandant of the USMC for telling it like it is and warning about repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell.

2. Sarah Palin for also telling it like it is and warning about repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell


Just saying..

[magichat]

I voted other because it sure isn't any of those people.

[ChiTownVenture]

Just saying

Did you pick other? Palin has not votes above...

I was surprised to see GW was picked number 1 by Republicans when sorted by Party ID, Obama was number 2 and Beck number 3.

He is most definitely on my short list very very short

[traelin0]

Why didn't RDT place Ron Paul, his favorite politician of all time, up there?

[reformeddaytrader]

I will next year after he does some good things on the Finance and Banking Congressional Committee as long as Barney Frank does NOT try to torpedo him..

Wow....what a shocker.

All the young ladies I know disagree and they like Sarah Palin more than they like Obama...

Most women in the 18 to 35 year old group like Sarah but those in the 35- 65 don't IMHO based on a small sampling of friends and relatives....which I think is pretty accurate for the entire country..

I like Palin just fine.
Then she has to ruin it by speaking.......
But, then again, that's pretty much how I feel about most politicians.

[reformeddaytrader]

The Tea Party likes Sarah and say what you will but Mrs Palin can raise megabucks but some far out in right field conservatives and anarchists don't like her very much as you might imagine.


I am a EconomicLeft/Right: -2.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.72

...

But with that label on my back not too sure about Mrs Palin and I like Tina Fey better because Sarah thinks she is so sophisticated and she is not, she thinks she is so knowledgeable and she is not....and Barbara Bush thinks Mrs Palin ought to stay in Alaska which is not a bad idea

[ugonow]

Barbara Bush thinks Mrs Palin ought to stay in Alaska which is not a bad idea

Barbara Bush should keep her blue blood mouth shut.She is far removed from real people. Republicans and the tea party alike better realize they need her.She is THE force to be reconed with,as republicans should have learned by the elections. Those republicans badmouthing her are going to be toast. The feared wrath against politicians that bad mouth Rush is painless compared to that of the repercussions of a candidate doing so with Sarah..

[ChiTownVenture]

Wow....what a shocker.

He was #2 with Republicans, that is a shocker!

Mrs Palin can raise megabucks

but can she raise the votes? The problem with Palin is that she isn't currently working in politic (as an elected official), and she quit her previous job. She's becoming a TV personality as opposed to a politician (presidential candidate).

I voted I most admire myself.

Was your prior moniker BobnDC....just asking??

[goldenrun]

If Sarah Palin wins the repub nomination, the party regulars will stroke out. I would love to see her in a presidential debate against Barack Obama. Or would she twitter her replies to questions? But wait, she doesn't talk to the press at all - except for FOX - so how would Ms. Palin ever participate in a debate? She thinks being asked what she reads was a tick question - a gotcha - to make her look bad.
Yeah, let the repubs nominate Sarah Palin.

I think she would do well when scored by (too) many Americans.

Probably no different that what many people of more liberal politicians.

I know you have to pick one but I have a few I can think of. Surprised no one picked Gates..what he is doing with his his fortune and getting others to do too is pretty spectaculer..plus what he did , in association with others too, is pretty spectaculer too..the jobs he created , the industry he had so much to do in growing..{I know there are many who think he stifled competition and all, but i am not a expert on those thins, it's enough thst I can turn this thing on and know what reboot means },
