The Gallup polls of the Most Admired Man and Woman are an annual exercise in touting politically correct culture heroes.
But this year
a funny thing happened on the way to the canonization.
“Barack Obama and Donald Trump are tied this year as the most admired man.”
This tracks Trump’s rise in polls across the board, as Gallup admits. But Obama isn’t on the ticket this year. And those who are, hardly track
“The remainder of the top 10 for men this year includes former President Jimmy Carter, businessman Elon Musk, philanthropist and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Pope Francis, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, California Rep. Adam Schiff, the Dalai Lama, and investor Warren Buffett.”
Trump us the most admired man among 18% of Americans while Bernie can’t even cobble together 2%.
