For most admired woman, Michelle Obama received 10% of votes. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris followed behind with 6% and first lady Melania Trump came in third place with 4%.

Melania Trump came in second to Michelle Obama in 2019 and has been among the top 10 most admired women the past four years, but had never come first.

Hillary Clinton, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Queen Elizabeth II were also among the most admired women.

Trump’s win reflects his enduring popularity among Republicans. Gallup noted that few Republicans named anyone else besides the President. The poll was conducted by telephone from December 1-17 among a random sample of 1,018 adults.
