It should come as no surprise who is #1 on the list of most admired men from a USA Today/Gallup poll published this week by Americans at this time. It is of course none other than our next president Barack Obama. What does surprise me a little are the ones that show up in the next few. Although the percentages are way down from Barack Obama who got 32% of the vote, the #2 most admired? George W. Bush with a 5% tally. John McCain came in 3rd overall.
As for the women the list is even more surprising. #1 overall is Hillary clinton pulling around 20% of the vote, but hold onto your hats, the #2 most admired woman is none other than Sarah Palin with an astounding 11% of the vote. A woman that probably couldn't tell you the difference betwen computer memory upgrade and a Beyonce DirecTV Upgrade. The #3 most admired woman by Americans is Oprah Winfrey.
Of course you know how polls are. You have to look at the sample size to get an idea how erratic these polls are. This poll only consisted of 1,008 people. Hardly something you could use to say that "most Americans" feel this way. Glad to see that 1,000 people are the voice of America.
