For the ninth time, President Obama has been chosen as the most admired man of the year in Gallup’s poll of most admired men and women, and for the twenty-first time, Hillary Clinton has been chosen as the most admired woman.
President Obama drew 22 percent of the vote for most admired man, besting the runner-up, President-elect Donald Trump, by 7 percent.
Hillary Clinton drew 12 percent of the vote for most admired woman, followed by First Lady Michelle Obama, with 8 percent.
Gallup notes: “Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been the most admired man and woman every year since 2008.”
It is a bittersweet reminder of how important Obama’s and Clinton’s leadership and personal examples of thoughtfulness, decency, and resiliency have been to so many people, as we look forward to a year in which the nation will not have either of their (official) leadership any longer.
I am abundantly grateful to them for how much of their lives they have dedicated in service to this country, and I eagerly look forward to what they will do next.
