Ending out the decade, Gallup Poll released the results of the annual most admired man of the year list, which resulted in an interesting find. Former President Barack Obama and Donald Trump both tied for the top spot, both garnering a total of 18 percent from respondents. This marks Obama’s 12th time as the most admired man in America, while Donald Trump was voted in for the first time, even after he was recently impeached on two articles, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Gallup has conducted the poll since 1948, asking Americans across the country to vote for public figures that represent admirable qualities. This year’s results were gathered over an almost two-week period from December 2-15. 41 percent of Democrats, 12 percent of Independents, and only 3 percent of Republicans choosing Obama, and 45 percent of Republicans, 10 percent of Independents, and 2 percent of Democrats opting for Trump.
