Arguably, this Gallup “poll” is merely an exercise in name recognition, as Melania came in 4th on the women’s side. Yes Melania Trump.
However, Individual #1’s whole life strategy is to saturate the media with………..himself.
And STILL, BHO beats him easily by 6%?
That’s gonna leave a big, BIG mark. And likely a few petulant, juvenile tweets.
And Hillary beat out Melania
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For the first time in 17 years, a woman other than Hillary Clinton has been named by Americans as the woman they admire most. Former first lady Michelle Obama, who finished second to Clinton three times and is currently touring to promote her recently released autobiography, won by a significant margin this year. Oprah Winfrey was second, with Clinton and Melania Trump next.
Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama was the winner among men for the 11thconsecutive year, including one year as president-elect, eight as president and two as former president. President Donald Trump ranks second for the fourth year in a row.
Gallup's annual survey, conducted Dec. 3-12 this year, asks Americans, in an open-ended question, to name the man and woman living anywhere in the world today whom they admire most. Gallup first asked the question in 1946 and has done so every year since, except 1976.

African-Americans taking the first three spots????
Oh, and good for Malala:
NEW DELHI: When Malala Yousafzai came to know that she was on the cover of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People list in 2013, it hardly impressed her as she told her father, "I do not believe in such categorization of human beings".
Her father Ziauddin Yousafzai talks about this interesting fact in his new book "Let Her Fly: A Father's Journey and the Fight for Equality".
