Where was this poll conducted ?
Hillary is disliked greatly among working Democrats where I live ... they like Trump ... God help US.
Besides how can you admire people who have lied to you for seven years?

Kind of depends on who was asked and the answers that were chosen (cherry picked) by those conducting the poll.


As usual, polls are useless and not worth the bandwidth to post.

pure propaganda or just manipulative survey questions.


Two chronic liars on the most admired list doesn't say much about the people who voted for them if indeed anyone actually voted.


The NYT is the official obama admin propaganda machine.


Next survey....who believes the NYT's survey?

If you read the article, you would know that the poll was conducted by Gallup and the format used was open-ended. There was no list for people to choose from. They were just asked: what man do you admire most, and what woman do you admire most.

The NYT did not conduct the poll, they are just reporting the results.

All the liberals in my circle despise Hillary. My wife, a Berkeley liberal, said she would vote for Trump over Hillary. Ironically I can't stand Trump.

Ahh. The NYT. haha

Here is the actual poll.

  • 805 People polled
  • What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most?
    • Obama - 19
  • What woman that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most?
    • Hillary Clinton - 12
So 19 people said they admire Obama and 12 people said they admire Hilary and we get a declaration they are the most admired in the world.

I saw this poll too. Most admired according to who??

I know plenty of people who admire Obama, I guess he has the first black president thing under his belt. But I don't know anyone who admires Hillary. She reminds me of a serpent. Politics aside, her former secret service detail said she's a nightmare to work with and a very nasty person.
