Obama Trumps Trump as Most-Admired Man

Former President Barack Obama is the world's most-admired man according to the annual Gallup survey.

President Donald Trump came in second with 14 percent to Obama's 17 percent.

Other incumbent Presidents who didn't top the list during their time in office include George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and Harry Truman.

Hillary Clinton retained her title as the most-admired woman for the 16th consecutive year.

"But the likelihood that she will continue to hold that honor in future years seems less certain, with her popularity at a nadir and the percentage naming her as most-admired the lowest in 15 years," Gallup said. "She managed to win this year because she remains arguably more prominent than other contenders. However, retaining that stature may be more challenging in coming years with her political career likely over."
