An annual opinion poll to determine the most admired man and woman in the United States has been conducted by the American analytics and advisory company Gallup at the end of most years since 1946. The result is published as a top-ten list. In most years, the most admired man has been the incumbent president of the United States, and the most admired woman has been the first lady. The incumbent president has been the most admired man in 58 of the 72 years in which the poll has been conducted. Dwight D. Eisenhower (pictured) and Barack Obama have each been the most admired man 12 times. In his lifetime, the evangelist Billy Graham had 61 appearances in the top-ten list, the most of any individual, and 8 second-place finishes. Two former first ladies have the most appearances as the most admired woman: Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton. Clinton topped the list in 22 of the 25 polls conducted during between 1993 and 2017, including 16 times in a row from 2002 to 2017, before Michelle Obama became the most admired woman in 2018. Roosevelt was named the most admired woman 13 times. The highest number of top-ten appearances belongs to Queen Elizabeth II, with 52. (Full list...)
