The Obamas And Clintons Are More Admired Than The Trumps Ever Were

 

     Barack Obama is the most admired man in modern history. The ranking has been done since 1946 for both the most admired man and the most admired woman. 

     Barack Obama was the most admired man from his election in 2008 until 2019. Donald Trump was president in 2017 and 2018, but he did not receive the title until he shared it with Obama in 2019 and won it for himself in 2020. Obama has received it 12 times. He and Dwight D. Eisenhower are currently tied for the most number of times the title was won. However, because Obama is still relatively young and is writing books, starting a foundation, speaking publicly, and working on a production company, and because beloved presidents usually win when they die, Obama will likely be the most admired man in the 21st century.

     Michelle Obama, a co-founder of said production company and an author and pop culture figure, has won every year since 2018. Melania Trump did not win once.

     Bill Clinton was the most admired man from 1993 to 2000, every year of his presidency.

     Hillary Clinton was the most admired woman in 1993, 1994, 1997-2000, and 2002-2017. A total of 22 wins make her the most admired woman in modern history.
