For the 11th year in a row, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman.

And for the 5th consecutive time, President Obama is the most admired man.

Following Clinton closely on the women's list: First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Condoleezza Rice.

Joining President Obama on the men's list: Nelson Mandela, Mitt Romney, Bill Graham, George W. Bush, and Pope Benedict XVI.

Gallup has been conducting their "most admired" list for men since 1946, they added the "most admired woman" in 1948.

Although this is her 11th year in a row, Clinton has actually topped the "most admired" list 17 times since 1993.

Odd that suz and ds didn't have a comeback to the truth in my post below...sorry guys...you can't refute facts...maybe some believe your second-hand lies, but you really need to get your heads out of wherever they are and start telling the truth and backing the ban on deadly assault weapons/mega-round clips that have no business being used by other than military personnel. Absolutely no one, especially the president, wants all your guns...period. Turn off faux news & mute LaPierre (the idiot)!

No snydergal we are just normal people that still use common sense and tell it like it really is. You are the un-American puppet snydergal, you believe everything you are told, question nothing, are willing to give up your rights just to feel a little safer when actually you are worse off. No wonder this country is in the shape it is now, because of gullible people like you. Try getting out more and pay attention to what is going on around you instead of hiding in the closet watching CNN all day

Now everyone...read the following very slowly...no one is suggesting that legal gun owners surrender all their firearms...and suz, as part of the rabble that loves to stir the caldron and spread fearmongering, read this last sentence again! NO ONE WANTS ALL YOUR GUNS...JUST THE ASSAULT WEAPONS AND MEGA-CLIPS THAT DO NOT BELONG IN THE HANDS OF A CIVILIAN POPULATION. As for your attempted put-downs, stifle them...your mean and heartless insults mean nothing to me and fall on deaf ears. DROP IT!

Mrs. Clinton has more class, more intelligence in her little finger, than the likes of ds...you most likely are a teabagger, a woman hater, a racist, a gun-toting redneck, and...oh, well...it does no good to try to post some sense to you...and, oh, again...President Obama WON a second term...stuff your racist/woman hating bilge water in the freezer for the next four years...those who believe as you do are, at the very least, pathetic, and un-American/anti[democracy at your very worst.

You got that right Mr Smith, it must have been an idiot only poll.

Who all did Gallup ask? The schizophrenic bag lady and village idiot?

Fiscal cliff, Benghazi, Obamacare, etc...

Yea sure, most admired...
