Poll: Obama, Hillary Clinton the Most Admired People in 2013

President Obama
and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been named the
most admired people among Americans for the sixth year in a row in
a survey conducted by Gallup, although both of their ratings have
taken a hit compared with last year.

The second most admired man was George W. Bush and the second
most admired woman was Oprah Winfrey. Former Texas Congressman Ron
Paul tied with Clint Eastwood and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as the
eighth most admired man of 2013. 

From
The Hill:

President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
were named the most-admired people in 2013 for the sixth year in a
row, according to a Gallup survey. 

The open-ended poll released Monday found 16 percent of people
named Obama as the most-admired man, while 15 percent named Clinton
as the most-admired woman. Both scores, however, have dropped
significantly since 2012.  

In 2012, 30 percent of people named Obama as the most-admired
man, while 21 percent named Clinton the most-admired
woman.
