PRINCETON, NJ -- President George W. Bush tops Gallup's annual survey of the "most admired man" for the fourth year in a row. Hillary Clinton leads the most admired woman list, with Oprah Winfrey close behind. Republicans and Democrats differ significantly in their views of this year's most admirable men and women. Republicans overwhelmingly say the president is the most admired man, and also name first lady Laura Bush and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice as the most admired women. Democrats, meanwhile, are most likely to mention Bill and Hillary Clinton as the most admired man and woman.
Most Admired Men
Nearly one in four Americans name George W. Bush, without prompting, as the most admired man this year, according to the Dec. 17-19 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll. Former President Bill Clinton, who recently underwent a quadruple bypass and opened his presidential library in Little Rock, Ark., comes in second place, with 6% of respondents mentioning him. Rounding out the top five most admired this year are Secretary of State Colin Powell, at 5%, former President Jimmy Carter, at 4%, and the Rev. Billy Graham, at 3%.

Hmmmm... I'm surprised Hillary did not get both awards.
lol... she did control Bill's jewels after Monica. Maybe she wears them now.
I only got 1% so they didn't list.
It's tough choosing between Mrs. Bush and Dr. Rice...
Bush for what he knows, Hillary for who she knows...
The Dims will never be able to take the moral high ground as long as they continue to revere a convicted perjurer and a known sex predator.
I really dont believe that Jimmy Carter or Hillar should be on the list. Well atleast NOT Jimmy Carter. Hitlery shouldnt be #1. She should be behind Mrs. Bush. The democRATS probably bombarded the polling.
Bush is quickly losing my admiration with his open borders and spinelessness in controlling the UN.
Former President Jimmy Carter? Ewwwwwww!
Edward Kennedy and JJ Jesse Jackson have featured 18 and 11 times in the top 10. How can that be? Who admires those 2 schmucks?
You would be surprised how many women like Hillary. She got away with alot because she played the victim and she knows how to do it. That woman is definately going to run in 2008 I can feel it in my bones.
My liberal girlfriend says Jimmah's her favorite President.
I agree. Well, I still respect him but these issues are taking a toll on that. I think he honestly believes he's doing the right thing, but we need to correct him.
I can tell you that right now Jessie Jackson is popular among the DUmmies because he is the only idiot protesting the election. He is their hero right now and that is the only reason why.
Why on earth do ppl pick politicians? It makes no sense. Why not a great artist or scientist or businessman? Why not someone who isn't a parasitic whore?
I know - I never understood that either.
name recognition. Those are the names in the news most often.
I voted for you...
