Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama are once again the most admired people in the world, according to Gallup's annual poll.
Each year for nearly seven decades, Gallup asks Americans an open-ended question: What woman/man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most?
Ms. Clinton has earned the title 19 times total, cinching the top spot in 17 of the last 18 years. (She sat out in 2001 when the public mentioned first lady Laura Bush most.) President Obama has been named the most admired man in each of the last seven years, starting in 2008, when he was elected president.
The Gallup poll results are a blend of political, religious, humanitarian and scientific figures. Top female contenders include Oprah Winfrey, Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Male runners-up include Pope Francis, President Bill Clinton and Rev. Billy Graham.
It all goes back to healthcare here at Becker's. Who would top the list as the most admired man and woman in healthcare? Who did you most warmly respect in 2014?
