Former first lady Michelle Obama has trumped fellow former first lady Hillary Clinton as the woman Americans say they admire the most, according to a Gallup survey released Thursday.
Obama, who is currently promoting her new autobiography Becoming, came first in the poll with 15 percent, followed by Oprah Winfrey with five percent, and Clinton with four percent — tied with current first lady Melania Trump.
Gallup has conducted the poll annually every year since 1946, with the exception of 1976. Failed presidential candidate Clinton had finished first 22 times previously, including consecutively from 2002-17. Obama had previously finished second to Clinton three times.
