Immediate past U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, has been voted America’s most admired woman in a Gallup poll, ousting Hillary Clinton from the top spot for the first time in 17 years.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Obama top the list of the 2018 ‘Most Admired’ Americans released on Friday by Gallup Inc., a Washington based company, acclaimed for its public opinion polls.

Since 1946, Gallup has been asking random survey participants to “name the man and woman living anywhere in the world today that they admire most.”

This year, Gallup surveyed a random selection of 1,025 adults from Dec. 3 to Dec. 12.

15 per cent named the former First Lady, who recently released a memoir, “Becoming,” and completed a multi-city book tour.

Hillary Clinton who had been at the top more than two dozen times, dropped to third place this year, with Oprah Winfrey taking second.

It was Oprah’s 14th time in the second spot, but she had never claimed first place.

Melania Trump came in fourth, with Queen Elizabeth, Angela Merkel, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ellen DeGeneres, Nikki Haley and Malala Yousafzai joining her in the top 10.

This year marked the 50th time that Queen Elizabeth had made the top 10 list of women.

Michelle’s husband, Barack Obama, also holds the distinction of being the most admired man, with 19 per cent naming him for this category, making him to now hold the title for 11 consecutive years.

If he is named again in 2019, he will tie another former president, Dwight Eisenhower, who holds the record for the highest number of years named most admired man.

President Donald Trump came in second place with 13 per cent naming him, as 35 per cent of Democrats named Barack Obama while 32 per cent of Republicans named Trump as the most admired man.
