Gallup: The Boy King and HRC Most Admired Man/Woman in 2007

[Yael]

Who the hell are they polling? I mean seriously?

:wtf:

PRINCETON, NJ -- For the sixth year in a row, President George W. Bush is the most admired man and Sen. Hillary Clinton the most admired woman in Gallup's annual survey. But neither winner had a very decisive win this year, with former President Bill Clinton nearly tying Bush and Hillary Clinton barely topping talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. This is the seventh time Bush has been most admired man and the 12th time Clinton has been most admired woman.

9. actually this is a very good poll for us

look at the men.

Bush wins despite just 10% of Americans naming him, which is two points more than his predecessor, Bill Clinton, receives. That score is Bush's lowest in the seven years he has been named most admired man, and the fact that it is enough to win suggests that no dominant male personality has captured the public's admiration this year.

The remainder of the top 10 most admired men after Bush and Clinton are former Vice President Al Gore (6%), Sen. Barack Obama (5%), the Rev. Billy Graham (3%), former South African President Nelson Mandela (3%), former President George H.W. Bush (2%), Microsoft founder Bill Gates (2%), Pope Benedict XVI (2%), and former President Jimmy Carter (2%).

Known liberals Clinton, Gore, Obama, Mandela, and Carter total 24%.

Known conservatives Bush 2, Bush 1, Graham, and the Pope total 17%. A clear win for us and we win by numbers mentioned (5 vs 4) and that is counting two people who are conservative but likely on the list for their religiousity not thier politics.
