Obama et Clinton: les personnalités les plus admirées en 2011

Clinton figure au sommet de la liste pour la dixième année! "President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continued their reigns as Americans’ most admired man and woman in 2011, as first lady Michelle Obama jumped up a spot from her previous ranking, according to a poll out Tuesday. Both Obama and Clinton once again hold the honor of the most admired man and woman with 17 percent of the vote each, according to the USA Today/Gallup poll. And Michelle Obama, who came in fourth in last year’s list, now ranks as the third most admired woman, directly behind Oprah Winfrey. Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin dropped to fourth in the 2011 poll. Clinton has held the title of most admired woman 16 times since first appearing on the list in 1992. This is her tenth consecutive year with that distinction, according to the pollsters. Her husband, former president Bill Clinton, is in third place this year for men — the same ranking he held last year. The No. 2 spot on the men’s side is former president George W. Bush, who Obama first beat out for the honor of most admired man in 2008. Billy Graham was fourth (he’s been on the list 55 times) and Warren Buffett garnered 2 percent of the vote for a No. 5 ranking, while Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump tied in sixth with 1 percent of support each. For women, Condoleezza Rice came in at fifth most admired, followed by Laura Bush, Margaret Thatcher, Ellen DeGeneres and Queen Elizabeth. GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann rounded out the top 10. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1211/70881.html
