According to the results of a Gallup poll, the current POTUS Donald Trump and the former POTUS Barack Obama share the admiration of people whereas they were in for a tie for the first place of the ‘most admired man’ of 2019.
With political polarity appearing to be more evident than ever, Both Trump and Obama racked up 18 percent of the votes given by voters who were asked by Gallup annual survey who was the person they admired the most in 2019.

Second to Michelle Obama was the current FLOTUS Melania Trump who racked up 5% of the votes.
