And Trump's first. This year's poll asked the American public who they believed should be considered the most admired man this year and the statistics were staggering.They were collected in a poll that ran from 2-15th December.

It is noted that the poll this year was severely divided depending on which political party each individual supports.Here's how the results were broken down:
via: Gallup
41% of Democrats named Obama, while 45% of Republicans chose Trump as the man who deserves the highest accolade.And it makes sense that few Democrats chose Trump and vice versa.

However, the independent sections and general American adults were almost evenly distributed amongst both men.After both these Presidents, no one else on the list secured over 2% of the votes.

11% of Americans named a male friend or relative while 18% named another public figure that didn't acquire enough votes to stand alone.Then we have the 25% that did not name anyone.

It is typical of this poll that the most popular President usually wins the top spot, usually securing at least 58 of the 72 polls.According to Gallup, Trump is not popular politically.

They wrote: "When the incumbent president is not the choice, it is usually because he is unpopular politically, which was the case for Trump in 2017." This is based on 36% approval rating) and 2018 (40%).However, he is more popular now than he was two years ago.
