Gallup: Hillary Clinton is the Most Admired Woman in the World

[lapucelle]

"The 2017 [Gallup] survey marks the 16th consecutive year Clinton has been the most admired woman. She has held the title 22 times in total, more than anyone else. Eleanor Roosevelt is second with 13 wins."

How awkward for Vanity Fair.

1. Admired, but not liked

[lapucelle]

2. I like her. N/T

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. The whole world loves her.

Well, not Putin and not GOP and not certain others here in America but other than that she like Obama is absolutely loved worldwide.

[Cha]

4. That's not true, of course.

[democratisphere]

5. Admired, loved and liked by her supporters and admirers.

[StevieM]

12. She was easily the most beloved politician in America 5 years ago.

She showed herself capable of winning popular support.

Then came the swift boating to end all swift boatings. Any Democrat, and especially any woman, would have faced the same.

What separated HRC from others is that James Comey and the FBI targeted her with their lies and destroyed her reputation.

[Gothmog]

15. I like her a great deal

[Lil Missy]

16. Liked - by majority.

[pnwmom]

17. Admire: "to regard with wonder, pleasure, or approval."

From dictionary.com

I bet that the vast majority of people who admire her, also like her.

[NNadir]

26. Whenever I reflect on the fact that she is not in the White House and an orange criminal...

...moron is, I can't believe my country and am deeply disappointed in it.

How can a nation allow the elevation of ignorance and crassness over intelligence, knowledge and grace?

The more I learned about Hillary Clinton, the more I admired and liked her.

She is the closest thing to Eleanor Roosevelt in this century.

[lunamagica]

39. Would you please point out the big differences beteeen admired and liked?

Because according to Merriam-Webster, like and admire are related words

[blue cat]

6. I love her more than ever

I hope she keeps writing books and making appearances.

[onetexan]

10. God i wish she was our POTUS right about now

Hillary is our legit POTUS.

[lunamagica]

40. So do I!

[MaryMagdaline]

7. Yes I was mocking all the Hillary is not likeble posts

[sheshe2]

8. That she is, lapucelle.

[onetexan]

9. Yikes, both Barack AND Hillary?

idiot 45 must be boiling with rage about now

[BigmanPigman]

13. Are you kidding?

His staff has been hiding info like this from him for months. He goes ballistic if his 12th Diet Coke is too warm or cold. He only reads what is placed in his two daily "happy" folders to placate his ego and keep him from scaring everyone in the White House. I doubt that Fux Ruse ran it and that is what he watches for his tainted "news" briefings.

[Ilsa]

19. A Democrat visiting fux news needs to let this Gallup poll slip.

Hopefully at a time DOTUS (or POOO) is watching.

[2naSalit]

11. K&R

[-Steph-]

14. I have great admiration and respect for HRC. She's a truly remarkable woman and I listen intently

when she speaks. I would have loved nothing more than to be a fly on the wall when the orange overlord learned of Obama and Hillary being the most admired man and woman in the world. I just know that the narcissistic maniac wouldn't have taken that one very graciously.

[rurallib]

18. Trump will be tweeting tomorrow that HE is really the most admired woman

that Hillary stole it blah, blah, blah.

What a sore loser!

[oberliner]

20. It's actually the worst she has ever done in the survey (9 percent)

She was at 15 percent in 2013, now down to 9.

Michelle Obama was a close second at 7.

[lapucelle]

21. HRC won "most admired" with 7% in 2002, so that was her lowest year,

but thanks for playing.

[oberliner]

23. Thanks for the correction

The Gallup site was only showing the last 10 years.

I'm glad she is higher than she was in 2002!

[lapucelle]

25. And I'm glad that HRC has won the "Most Admired" title more times than anyone

in the poll's 65+ year history.

[oberliner]

27. It's amazing

Especially considering the non-stop RW barrage of attacks on her throughout the election - which I think accounts for her lower than usual percentage this time around.

[George II]

22. The NO Saints won two weeks ago by a score of 31-19, last week only 23-13. They still won. Point?

[oberliner]

24. Just observing that she's dropped a bit over the past few years

Probably due to the RW campaign to vilify her during the election.

[LanternWaste]

36. Always interesting to see who prioritizes what,

Always interesting to see who prioritizes what, the messages they consistently infer, and the rationalizations as to why...

[Eliot Rosewater]

41. The point I think is some folks never let an opportunity pass to

make negative comments about certain people.

[spooky3]

28. Sorry to be picky, but this was a poll of Americans, not

The world.

She and he are #1s on my list, if Gallup had asked me.

😀

[lapucelle]

30. The respondents are permitted to name any person in the world.

"Gallup’s most admired man and woman poll is an annual poll that Gallup has conducted at the end of most years since 1948. Americans are asked, without prompting, to say what man and woman 'living today in any part of the world, do [they] admire most?' The result is published as a top ten list."

According to the Gallup poll results, HRC is the most admired woman in the world.

If this were a poll to determine "the most admired man/woman" in America, Pope Francis, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Dalai Lama, Angela Merkel, Queen Elizabeth II, and Duchess Kate Middleton would not be on the top ten lists.

[spooky3]

34. Yes, but that is an inaccurate way of describing the poll. It implies that people around the world

judged Obama and Clinton to be #1. That is not true. Only Americans were polled. If people around the world were polled, it's very likely that someone else would have come out as #1 (for each gender).

The headline should have read something like, "Americans admire Obama, Clinton more than anyone else."

[lapucelle]

35. The question asked the respondents

to name the man and woman they most admire in the world. The headline reads, "Gallup: Hillary Clinton is the most Admired Woman in the World". There is nothing inaccurate in the headline.

29. What's that I hear?

Why it's right wing (and JPR) heads exploding

[jrthin]

31. I definitely like her.

She's been my model of a steel backbone.

[Cha]

32. Ain't that the truth!

[doc03]

33. Among Republicons she is the most hated women in the world

[lunamagica]

37. K&R. Thanks! Now whenever anyone says Hillary was too unlikable to be a candidate

I will refer to this survey

[StevieM]

42. She was the most popular politician in America for years.

Then they gave her the swift boating to end all swift boatings. With a whole lot of help from the Republican-controlled FBI.

[Spider Jerusalem]

38. "in America", or "by Americans", maybe, certainly not "in the world" (n/t)
