Bush Most Admired Man In America

PRINCETON, NJ — President George W. Bush is the clear choice as the most admired man in Gallup's annual poll on this topic, while New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton edges out talk-show host Oprah Winfrey and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as the most admired woman. This marks the fifth straight year that Bush has been most admired man, and the fourth straight year that Clinton has been most admired woman. Clinton has topped the list 10 times since 1993. Billy Graham finished among the top 10 most admired men for a record 49th time.

Not very surprising. The last time a sitting President wasn't the most admired man in Gallup's poll was Jimmy Carter.

And as SA reader Carrick notes in this comment, 7% of Democrats also rank President Bush as their most admired man. That is an astonishing number considering that he ranks second behind only Bill Clinton at 13% and above Jimmy Carter at 6%. Especially astonishing given the lengths to which Democrat leadership have gone to in ordero to villify the man.
