Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sets a record in Gallup’s annual most-admired survey, while Sarah Palin falls farther off the popularity radar.
Gallup has run its most-admired man and woman survey since World War II, and in the 2012 edition, Clinton and President Barack Obama kept their top positions among those asked a simple question: “What man that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most? And who is your second choice?”
Clinton was named as most-admired woman for the 17th time since she became a national figure in 1992. Eleanor Roosevelt held the previous record when she was named 13 times as the most-admired woman.
In 2012, Palin had just 2 percent of the polling, finishing in a fifth-place tie. Clinton had 21 percent, followed by First Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Condoleezza Rice.

We're done!
Sarah Palin: The Most important irrelevant figure in America today.
She is so un-important that Yahoo and Gallup have to write stories about her to generate hits to their pathetic web sites.
Palin who? I haven’t heard squat from her since she announced on Levin’s show that she wasn’t running.
The new reality.
GOOD GOD, what insane asylum do they go to get this BS? I mean the Kenyan the most admired man???
This is a function of who is in the news and in power and who isn’t. Nothing more.
Palin is fine.
It's a function of the stupidity of the American people.
Malala Yousafzai is far more admirable than either of them.
I like the Picture of Sarah laughing you have better. It is not such a close up shot.
Remember Sarah is NOT important ;)
And we must discuss in detail how unimportant she is.
I can imagine who they polled..Obama voters waiting at home for their food stamps to arrive so they can go trade it in for iPads..so let me get this straight..Sarah Palin is so irrelevant that they had to do a poll about her..okie dokie yahoo..WOW no matter what Sarah Palin does, and it can be nothing..she still lives rent free in the heads of libs 24/7
The hard core lefty readers of a hard core lefty website pick a hard core lefty politician as their most admired woman. Wow! Whodathunkit?
Not to worry...
At some point Anti-Christ is “most popular”.
So, don’t confuse popularity with being “right”.
That's OK, while you were asleep, Palin gave us our only Senate pick up, and gave us Ted Cruz, all in all, two very important successes to some of us.
It's a function of the stupidity of the American people.
These are truly compatible statements.......
I can think of several reasons, in no particular order:
- Name recognition
- Safe, socially acceptable choice (perception driven by the media)
- Choosing "the strong horse"
- Recognizing Santa
Can’t wait to see who they polled. Gimme a break. New Year’s resolution...pay no attention to polls.
Really?
As you point out, she's not in the news and in not power. She quit her last office and declined to run for the presidency.
Avoiding the presidential race on her resume was probably a good thing, but Palin needs to get back into the game if she wants to remain relevant.
Maybe she should consider running for the Democrat Senate seat coming up in 2014?
Then we'll know for sure if she's fine or not.

And that is precisely why this country is so F——d up!
