Former first lady Michelle Obama was named the most admired woman in the country, according to a recent Gallup poll.
Overall, 10% of respondents named Obama as the most admired woman, while 6% of respondents named Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. First lady Melania Trump came in third place with 4%.
2020 marks the third consecutive year Obama snagged the title.
The same poll found that her husband, former President Barack Obama, was unseated from his role as the most admired man by President Trump. The former president had held the honor for 12 years.
Other women mentioned by respondents in the poll include Oprah Winfrey, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Queen Elizabeth II, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
“Partisans tend to name public figures aligned with their own party when answering the most admired woman question. Trump leads among Republicans at 8%, followed by Barrett (4%) and Haley (4%). Democrats are about equally likely to name Obama (17%) and Harris (16%), and 5% name Ocasio-Cortez,” Gallup wrote.
The poll was conducted between Dec. 1-17 with 1,018 adults age 18 and older.
