Donald Trump and Pope Francis don’t have much in common, but this year the two tied as Americans’ second most admired men in the world.
In a Gallup poll released on Monday, Americans named President Obama the most admired man in the world for the eighth time — he received 17 percent of Americans’ votes. Trump and Pope Francis tied for second place with 5 percent of the votes each.
Americans named Hillary Clinton the most admired woman in the world — 13 percent of those polled chose Clinton. She has been named the most admired woman 20 times. Malala Yousafzai won second place with 5 percent of the vote, followed by a tie between Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama for third place.
Gallup surveyed 824 Americans Dec. 2-6 via phone with a margin of error plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Trump: This is flawed. I am THE most admired human being in this world. If not, I will only count the votes of those who admire me.
That Disraeli-attributed quote about lies, damned lies and statistics will get quite a workout because of this.
By Trump and others.
The aggregate scores tell a story::
Obama 17%
Clinton 13%
Trump 5%
It doesn’t get any clearer than this: Trump is a LOSER
Admiring Trump means admiring a bully. Do these Americans think the same of Pope Francis?
Lets take it a step further. Pope Donald Trump is just barely half of the support President Obama gets.
