No matter how much media slander, slander and lies, President Donald Trump is Gallup’s most admired man for 2020. The ends the joke of a run of 12 straight years of Obama being Gallup’s man of the year. I guess Gallup couldn’t rig there polls enough to get Obama over the top, or the latest media god and phony, Quack Fauci. This likely has sent some in the media, and a bunch of NeverTrump hacks into suicide watch before New Years Eve.

The incumbent president is usually top of mind when Gallup asks Americans to name, without prompting, which man living anywhere in the world they admire most. In the 74 times Gallup has asked the open-ended most admired man question since 1946, the incumbent president has topped the list 60 times. Harry Truman (1946-1947 and 1950-1952), Lyndon Johnson (1967-1968), Richard Nixon (1973), Gerald Ford (1974-1975), Jimmy Carter (1980), George W. Bush (2008) and Trump (2017-2018) are the incumbent presidents who did not finish first in past years.
When the sitting president is not the top choice, it is usually because he is unpopular politically. That was the case in 2017 and 2018 when Trump had 36% and 40% approval ratings, respectively, and finished second to Obama as most admired man.
