Donald Trump may not like the results of a new Gallup poll. It shows more people respect his predecessor. 17% of those polled said Barack Obama was the most admired man in America, while 14% named Trump. Incumbent presidents usually top the list, but this is the 10th year in a row that Obama won the distinction.

As for the most admired woman in America, Hillary Clinton won that spot with 9% of the vote. Gallup notes, “The 2017 survey marks the 16th consecutive year Clinton has been the most admired woman. She has held the title 22 times in total, more than anyone else.” Former first lady Michelle Obama was second on the list with 7%. Just 1% of those polled name Melania Trump as the most admired.
