It appears like the ppl being polled where asked how they would rank this rather small list instead of asking who they admired the most. I believe most Americans would agree with the Time magazine article listing the Ebola fighters as the most admirable for 2014. Obama didn't do jack for America in 2014. His biggest accomplishment was giving free social security benefits to illegals.
How can you admire a president who got bullied by Russia and ISIS?
The question asked was open-ended. It was:
What [man/woman] that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most?
And who is your second choice?
The sitting POTUS has been #1 among men in this poll in 56 of the 68 years that it's been run, including 33 of the last 34 (the only exception being when Obama was #1 in 2008). If the breakdown of political affiliation given from the linked article is any indication, it should be no surprise that many of those on the same "side" as the President would consider answering the question this way (especially given how it's worded), while those not on that "side" don't necessarily have a similar figure towards which they would gravitate.
What kind of intelligent American "admires" politicians or celebrities?
Politicians are the lowest form of life on the planet -- how pathetic do you have to be to "admire" them?
Most Americans fail to grasp the idea that just because the MSM has given Obama a 7-year long knob job, that doesn't make him "admirable". Admittedly, Stanley Dunham's kid only captured 19% of the vote (even AFTER he lied about her death), which is laughable itself.
For 7 years in a row Americans have named Obama as the man they admire most.
For 17 of the past 18 years Hillary Clinton has been the most admired woman.
Most Admired Man 2014:

Most Admired Woman 2014:
12% Hillary Clinton
8% Oprah Winfrey
5% Malala Yousafzai
4% Condaleeza Rice

Why don't people admire their the parents the most. What are we doing wrong here
The poll question is worded in a way to get people to respond with public figures (see my previous post). Still, for each of the man and woman questions, 9% named a friend or relative.
LOL. Another very "progressive" reply. You only demonstrate your ignorance of Obama's failures on the world stage.
Obama is totally out of his league when dealing with Putin who has schooled him many many times. If Obama were to go head to head with Putin, i.e a community agitator and product of affirmative action vs the former head of the KGB, I know where I'd be placing my bets.
I always wonder how much of an influence on these telephone polls is the type of people that answer the phone when the caller ID shows a robo call or even after one picks up the phone and hears that it's a poll.
