Obamas are 'most admired' man and woman in world: poll9/25/2020 Former President Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama now hold the top spots for most admired man and woman in the world in the British data firm YouGov’s annual poll released Tuesday. Barack Obama ousted Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates from the most admired title for the first time since YouGov started conducting the survey in 2014. Gates now holds second place for most admired man, followed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in third. Michelle Obama is ranked number one for women for the second year in a row. Angelina Jolie, who previously held the top spot, was ranked second in Tuesday’s survey, followed by Queen Elizabeth II. According to YouGov, the 2020 study was the largest conducted thus far, with more than 45,000 people in 42 countries and territories surveyed. The group said that it determines rankings based on respondents’ answers to two questions: whether the respondent admires the figure and if the respondent admires the specific figure most of all. YouGov reported that Barack Obama’s rise to first place in the survey was accompanied by President Trump’s fall to 15th place. This comes as the former president and first lady have both criticized Trump for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as his overall policy record.

I don't know who Jack Ma is. Actually, except for the cheeto, I don't know who #s14 - 20 are on the male side.
I'm not sure if it amuses or disturbs me that much of the female list are music entertainers.

Lol. I was trying to figure out who the old woman (stereotypical lesbian look) was, and I zoomed in (the picture was tiny on my phone) to see it was Bill Gates. Oops.

Oops. 🥴 Gates was pictured with the men! I know....now. When I first saw it, I just thought the people were somewhat randomly placed....but, alas, they were not. Jumping to conclusions has always been a skill at which I excel. |

I just reread the OP That's disturbingly high for Trump that is what I call the "pop star effect". people don't know who to name, so they name someone with whom they either identify, or a name they recognize.
these sorts of polls are not especially meaningful for that reason.

Well, I admire John McCain and RBG more than the first family, and they're both dead.   |
