Oooh, That's Gotta Sting Bad. Trump Loses Out On "Most Admired American Man" Title for 2017 To 'You Know Who'
...(Trump is) still living in his predecessor's shadow when it comes to public admiration, according to a new poll.
Trump trailed former President Barack Obama as the most admired man for 2017, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, marking one of the very few times in recent history that an incumbent president hasn’t taken the top spot.
Gallup has asked the most admired man question 71 times since 1946 and the sitting president has won 58 of those times, according to Gallup.
“Trump's unpopularity is holding him back from winning the most admired distinction,” Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones said Wednesday . “The incumbent president is the usual winner since he is arguably the most prominent figure in the country -- but when the president is unpopular, other well-known and well-liked men have been able to finish first.”
"Former presidents commonly make the top 10 list but rarely win, with Obama only the second to do so, along with Eisenhower in 1967 and 1968," he added....

lol. Waiting for Trump to cry "fake news".
I'm missing the lively banter of singled out and six pack right now. I wonder where they are?
"Fake News" how about no news? No one gives a shit. I figured Obama would win because people on the left are still nostalgic for the good old days of a shitty economy, no jobs, and a sitting President bad mouthing and putting down a country he is supposed to be leading. I honestly would have been shocked had Trump won just because the all the hate spewed at him from a liberal media, all the assclowns in Hollywood, and the sheep who eat all the bullshit up. So celebrate this victory I'll be sitting here celebrating the fact Americans are going back to work, our economy is booming and we are finally starting to hand ISIS their asses.
Probably not fake news. I mean look how Hillary was a shoe in and all the brain dead proglibs were smug as hell about the election. Then they cried and are still crying and eating up them new polls.
But hey Hillarious Hillary has still got her slot.
I would enjoy Hillary as a great President over the Trump insanity any day of the week.
Lol, no one is as sickening as Trump, Shep, not even Hillary! I love the puke emoticon though.
Maybe you should do some research as to her accomplishments. She is a great lady who does good works.
Yeah and Mussolini got the trains to run on time. So what?
Been there done that, nothing new in politics, let's see what happens in November of 2018.
He came in a strong second, missing number 1 by just a couple of points. Quite amazing, actually, considering the all out war the left and their buddies in the media have declared on him. But resentful liberals have to continually resort to these popularity polls and useless and unimportant "most admired" standings trying to prove a point, whatever that point might be. Thanks for another deep and broad article that says nothing and goes nowhere...."yer doin' a heck of a job there, Johnny!"
Thank you Rex. I am always happy to point out the unpopularity of the man you mistakenly believe is so popular. I guess 35% doesn't go as far as it used to.
Trump wanted Ivanka. Melania who?
I knew the standards have dropped in the US when she ran for President, but this is a new low.
Norman you win the award for the most ill thought out, useless comments on NT.
The most admired poll has been conducted by Gallup for 70 some years. It is at heart an innocuous poll, it's just the presence of Trump that turns it controversial.
True.
A typical poll that was heavily weighted to the left as usual. Nothing about any of their research is remotely accurate...but, let em have it...it makes the Snowflakes feel good....and as we all know, if a Snowflake doesn't feel GOOD.....it is a miserable misanthropic asshole for months upon months. There is just so much thumb sucking and floor rolling they can do to a hide their deep dismay. LMFAO
It's still funny how they rely on polls. You would have thought that they would have learned after the election clusterfuck that they are unreliable. But when you run in circles crying because you lost an election for a year, what can we expect.
Not a shock since he gets nearly 100% of one racial demographics vote. What other previous POTUS can say that?
Yes we know y'all think that all white people voted for Trump.
Nope, way too many "white" Clinton votin sons-a-bitches for that to be remotely true.
Guess again.
Bill Clinton didn't even make the list.
Old news, crawl out from under your rock and get with the times.
You're the one behind the times and talking about white people voting for Clinton. BTFW, I'm under a foot of snow, not rocks but thanks for playing.
Bwaaaahhhaahhhaahaahahaaaaa!!
I remember my first beer .....
Glad you finally turned 18. Please drink responsibly.
That would be great if 18 was the legal drinking age in the US.
You really need to work on your pithy comebacks.
I live in redneck heaven where folks give their kids a beer if their hands are big enough to grasp it.
Yeah, sure you do and sure they do.
This white man voted for Obama twice. No regrets. He was such a much better President than we have now.
The Obama Legacy:
Poverty level rose by 7%
12.4 million more on welfare
less than 2% GDP in any quarter in 8 years
Healthcare costs that were going to save the "family of 4 $2500 a year" (obumme'rs promise) rose 150% thanks to obummercare
Median household income at pre 2001 levels
Home ownership dropped roughly 4%
Student loan debt up 70%
Labor participation rate (the rate people are NOT in the workforce) records set each month
More regulation - passed on to the consumer which means more money out of your pocket
More taxes - more money out of your pocket again...
That is horrible, but things are a'changin' !! Hallelujah!
all verifiable - check it out...
it's sad to see such raw, unadulterated hate and bitterness in every keystroke...and it's very bad for your health there, Ttessy.
wrong. I will get a simplified tax procedure AND less paid in taxes ...hallelujah!!
try politifact on the obummer lie about health care.
the labor participation rate - dept of labor stats
the rest - google yourself as did I, for Pete's sake. They are easy to find.
You know, if any one conservative would say the same thing about Barry Sotero, you loony libs would come screaming out of the woodwork throwing accusations of racism around.
Are YOU the racist now? Or have you always been, but have just been embolden by another white man in the White House?
Since the Right claimed he was the Food Stamp president, I thought I'd add this nugget from the article.
Read it for yourself, if your interested in the truth.
The number of gun sales couldn't have anything to do with story's like this could it?
Skirting the CoC [ph]
LIE.
And that, in itself, is something you hate. After all, every time a conservative criticized Obama and one of his policies, many on the left used this little adage........"the only reason you don't like him is because he is a black man in the White House".
And, that's a fact.
There it is, Tessy. Now I've got it down for the next con that says they never called Ms Obama a name
Don't know. You tell me. Lib logic says you must be a racist if you criticize the guy in the White House.
It's knee slapping hilarious
Of course it doesn't make sense to you because many like you saw that criticizing the black man in the White House was simply racist whites being racist. To you guys, that is simply normal thought.
To have it put back on you simply does not compute. No surprise.
So, common sense to a liberal is nonsensical? OK, I can believe that.
Awwww....looks like you are triggered. Puppies and crayolas, anyone?
Now, go away...You are irritating.
Why doesn't anybody ever offer kittens?
Just once I want someone to give me a kitten and a coloring book
You forgot "stupid".
There is a long history of bigots referring to black people as animals. Your attempt at snide humor plays into that very mean spirited history. The Obama's have been caricatured as apes many times, even by Republican legislators, so calling the first lady a cow is just another attempt to claim for some reason that she is less than human. So yes, it is an evil mean spirited pejorative. No one is calling Donald Trump an animal because of his race, they call him a moron and an idiot because of the half witted words that come out of his mouth.
Sorry, Trout...I tried to paste a picture of kittens to offer you, but apparently I don't know how to post pictures on here, but, hey..
MEOW!!!!
Happy New Year!!!
I think I called him a weasel a time or two. Definitely fat pig.
Good comment.
It is unfortunate. It would be a lonely place on here if the libs had to meet a minimal IQ requirement. Won't be any fun without them...
Thanks for trying
Happy New Year to you, also!
i regret only that I have but one vote to give against the sort of liberal crackpottery represented by the likes of Obama and Hillary ....
From my experience on here and others sites that no longer exist, the left is just as prone, if not more, to sophomoric, mean spirited name calling than the right.
If you haven't observed that, you clearly are not paying proper attention.
You really are trying to push buttons here because, there is no way that you can look at the word Moochelle and, not see what animal is referred to here.
So you think that you could pass off your data over a YEAR as support for the QUARTERLY LIE?
I'm glad to see that you are the only one to vote up your disingenuous comments.
Here is another graph from YOUR chosen source.
Notice the first graph on quarterly GDP from YOUR source. See all of those columns that go ABOVE 3%? Oh and note that the graph only shows quarterly GDP from 2011 on.
You're not the only one.
You're not the only one.
I take the high road and only call him what he is.... A mean spirited, ignorant, stupid fool.
LIE.
Poverty rate 2008 13.2
Poverty rate 2016 12.7
Bush - food stamps grew by 14.7 million, or 85 percent
Obama - food stamps grew by 10.7 million, 33 percent
2001- 2006 up 63%.
2006- 2011 up 31%
2011-2016 up 20%
LIE
Median household income 2001 - $42,228
Median household income 2016 - $56,617
I suppose it depends on whether that 11% savings between 09 and 16 = $2500 or not.
It doesn't for me because I couldn't afford coverage because of a pre existing condition. Now I can. Priceless.
Isn't that what happens in a housing bust? Sheesh.
False.
Actually it's the number of students GETTING loans that went up 70%.
I didn't DO any math, I cited date but thanks for playing.
You lost your bet. Donate the amount to NT.
The 11% savings are in the COST of premiums, in short, payments to PRIVATE companies. Nothing to do with a government department. Again, thanks for playing.
The fraternity here will appreciate your attempt to dehumanize all liberals. Congratulations.
When you're finished smacking and laughing perhaps you'd like to try addressing my comment rather than attempting to demoralize.
No it is not a lie. $42000 in 2001 money equals $58000 today
I to disagree with you but in liberal land that is not saving $50 million nor is it an increase of $50 million. It is a cut of $50 million
Lie.
Regulation comes from legislation passed. Wait till you see the regulation coming out of the GOP tax bill.
Get educated.
Wait till pay go kicks in on the GOP tax bill.
Keep it classy with death wishing.
Hey there, XD -- I feel sorry for the Trump haters. It takes an awful lot of callousness, depravity, and hatred to want somebody dead.
I wish you and yours a very happy and healthy New Year, too!

It's not just that you were a little wrong, you're so wrong its mind-boggling.
Tell you what Norm, when you ask volfan for his sources and he posts them, I'll post the rest of mine.
Just in case you missed the point, you're request seems discriminatory.
See:
Would you like some mustard for that pretzel?
Whats the matter can't stand the truth?
The fraternity is going to have to rinse their eyes out before the facts burn their retinas.
Same damn answer.
How quickly they forget. The $2500 savings on insurance was to be per year ant 2400 over 7 years. Oops!
The matter is that rather than telling a relevant truth, you are deflecting.
I presume you have a point that you believe refutes my comment. Would you please attempt to make it cogently?
What i said is the truth. In terms if spending ability, the average worker is less well off in 2016 then he was in 2001. That is true and factual.
These aren't my numbers, they're every ones numbers.
All or the regulations that Trump has pretended to eliminate and those that he has added up until December, were done by Executive Fiat. You and yours cheered.
I'm pretty sure that it's obvious to everyone but some of the members of the fraternity that I already have.
If you have an issue with excess mucus, that's on you...
But THAT isn't what you said IS IT. You changed the metrics and expect applause.
Fail...
Did your Magic 8 ball tell you that?
So the 2017 Q1 3.3 and the Q2 3.3 is horseshit too?
Here, I'll post something the fraternity understands.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
That’s not true. These are deregulation bills he signed into law not executive orders.
Good, you're getting close.
I roll my own.
Not big on cogency I see. The 11% is REDUCTION in growth of premiums. Do try to keep up.
Yes they have. At 11% LESS than they would have.
If you are incapable of understanding the concept of reduction in growth in cost, I can't help you... perhaps there is a woman about you can ask about it.
1. No bill is cited by the link. Bill # please.
2. Congressional Review Act, NOT a BILL. See Schoolhouse rock.
3. See #2.
4. See #2.
5. See #2.
So my bad, not all EOs. But NOT 'deregulatory bills' either Dean.
Oh and BTFW, #5 should make his supports extra special proud.
WTF, don't you frat members ever talk. We have a CHAT function ya know.
THAT particular load of BULLSHIT has been debunked here enumerable times in the last week. DO try to keep up.
Of course, you may be one of the group that simply rinse and repeat BULLSHIT. If that is the case, please proceed. Far be it from me to try to keep anyone from continuing to play the fool.
Yes, you should stop Here ya go:
Let's see... 44-37 is....wait for it....7% !!
Do the rest yourself, for Pete's sake!!
Stop with your ridiculous posts...you keep getting owned. Just because you don't want to believe it doesn't make it a lie...and you should source your ridiculous claims...why don't you? Bawhahaha...betcha we all know why.
oh, so you are admitting obama lied when he said, it would" save a family of 4 $2500 a year".
Thanks. And again, you post no sources....here's a neat little chart:
And another one.
And there is this -the actual rising costs for those enrolled in obamacrapcare.
Cheers!
BINGO!!!
Hmmm.
MAGA!!
US GDP Growth Revised Up to 3.3% in Q3, Highest in 3 Years
Oh, and here is this little diddy:
You are welcome!
First of all, only a mental midget would come here and post the overt LIE that Bush's last month in office was Dec. 2007. Open a freaking history book, look it up on google. Sheesh.
Your claim wasn't about 'the percentage of children living in low-income families' though WAS IT? Perhaps you should go back and review your own comment and address it's ACTUAL content instead of deflecting.
But hell, let's DO address your deflection anyway shall we?
Let's see, since Bush was ACTUALLY in office until JAN 2009, you'd at least have to go with the 2008, 39%.
So 44-39 is....wait for it....5%!!
So according to your OWN source and your own numbers, your claim is a LIE.
But wait, there's MORE. I see that just like Bush's, you're also conveniently truncated Obama's term in office. Obama was in office until JAN. 2016 so go look up the DEC. 2016 data and do the math.
The rest of WHAT? I addressed you ACTUAL BS comment about HOUSEHOLD POVERTY. I need not agree to follow your down whatever fucking rabbit whole you decide to scamper down.
Now I could tell give you the data for DEC. 2016 but since you're hell bent on each of us doing our own research, I'll wait for YOU to post it...
Hint: it's NOT 44 and it STILL doesn't refute the FACT that your original data on HOUSEHOLD POVERTY is a LIE.
Thanks for playing.
Really? By whom? Certainly NOT by one who posts ridiculous comments like Bush's last month in office was Dec. 2007.
Exactly! What makes it a LIE is the it is a LIE. Since YOU made the assertion, it is on you to prove it. Although as anyone can see, I DID provide links to prove my date.
Where are your source? Why didn't YOU post any? In fact, you STILL haven't posted anything cogent.
Back at cha. Even a member of the fraternity wants sources. Post some.
But it IS a 'SAVINGS' isn't it?
I never said it wasn't an increase.
Based on what? Do you have numbers I am unaware of?
Reading is fundamental.
When YOU post sources to support your ORIGNIAL post, I'll be more than happy to eviscerate your BS further.
Obamacare is NOT 'employer sponsored health insurance'. Again, deflection.
Oh and BTFW, HOW does that 'neat little chart' prove that the increase in premiums is because of Obamacare.
Well since it's common practice by the fraternity to dismiss liberal sources, I'll take the same track and reject the Heritage foundation as a biased source.
So you are admitting that you LIED.
To wit:
You OWN source states that the GDP was 3.2% 3 years ago, which was during the Obama Administration.
Checkmate. Thanks for playing.
It reminds me of all the Cuban commies that cried when Castro died.
Reminds me of how many Cubans cheered Castro's death. And then the brother comes along.
Far right wing fascists are all alike no matter where they hail from.
fascists?
Here is another secondary news story from today
After living in Washington for nearly a year, President Donald Trump has yet to enjoy a single non-working meal at a restaurant that doesn't pay him rent.
He's a weirdo. Truth is, he's worried to death that if he acts like a resident of Washington DC and goes out to restaurants or schools, he will be met with protests.
He's probably right.
He's worried that he will be assassinated if he goes out in public. The most hated president ever might be right.
So, 58% of Americans are "Lefties"? Wow, I didn't know we had that many.
No charity stops....I'm not surprised. The one "charity" that I ever heard him associate with was the Wounded Veterans Project and he made a goddamn campaign fundraiser out of it...then wouldn't give WVP the money until he was hounded by it.
And people still voted for him. They must have really, really hated Hillary
Oh, the sting along with the butthurt...lol
Polls are totally unreliable John - as you well know.
Can you point to anything, anything at all, that indicates that the majority of the American people support Donald Trump, or have ever supported Donald Trump?
One poll at one time can be wrong. Dozens of polls over the course of a year are not all wrong. He is a very unpopular president.
National polling accurately predicted the vote total in the 2016 election. National polling today tells us trump is far underwater.
Your twisting and turning is irrelevant.
So you disagree with XD when he said that the president has NOTHING to do with the stock market.
I don’t if people have an optimistic outlook on business they will be more inclined to buy into the market driving prices up. The day after Trump was elected the Trump rally began. If they have a negative outlook on business they will flee the market for safe havens such as treasuries driving the market down.
There, fixed it for ya, you all seem to forget the extra little nugget that was there, (the popular vote), why is that? Now, the fact is, Hillary did win the popular vote by 3+ million votes, I would consider that a land slide, what she lost was the Electoral College which isn't connected to the popular vote.
How'd that work out.
So you want it both ways, we should all give credit to Trump for today's stock market but Obama had nothing to do with the 166% 8 year gain in the stock market. Got ya.
IMHO it isn't about 'business' per se. It's about profits made because of deregulation for the sake of deregulation. Pollution: air, land and water and the reduction in worker and food safety alone will add billions to corporate profits. The 'moral majority' used to pretend that it was the utmost of importance to protect our children's future. They aren't even pretending anymore.
Hillary Clinton?
Those that support Barack Obama in any way, shape, or form actually support the elimination of the Bill of Rights as shown by the assassination of TWO AMERICAN CITIZENS om Yemen without even an indictment on either of them. The Fifth Amendment states:
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger ; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Neither Samir Khan nor Anwar al-Awlaki were members of the military at the time of the assassination nor was there any sort of indictment regarding them. The only thing there was an accusation by the intelligence community. To support Barack Obama, you must no longer believe that anyone has any rights, because Barack Obama did not care to follow the Constitution regarding these two men.
Since when does due process extend beyond the US, it's military bases, or diplomatic properties? Too bad Obama didn't clip the US oil company executives that were out there buying terrorist oil at the same time.
Links? Or, is this just more RW fake news?
Really?
If we were in a battle that would be true. However, the drone strikes were deliberately targeting them not in the middle of a field of combat involving US troops.
LOL Norman, you and, your friends do it everyday too, what can't stand your own standards? Use a real source not some online guy who is a Trump bot or worse, a Russian agent.
You know the saying "You can indict a ham sandwich."? They could have done that here and then I wouldn't have had a problem. As I said before, there was no indictment and therefore their Constitutional Rights were violated. If they took the time to indict them, the issue would have been moot as Constitutional processes would have been followed. Heck, a Grand Jury rarely has an accused person in attendance let alone testifying during the case. They had plenty of time from when they were declared terrorists to follow Constitutional processes before killing them.
Reread what I wrote. We didn't need to bring them back for a trial, we just needed to have them indicted and they do not need to be present for that.
By their own admission they were enemy combatants fighting with terrorists against the United States, that makes them traitors. Are you a supporter of traitors?
Even traitors have a right to a trial and to be indicted. I prefer to maintain our rights and to have the rule of the US Constitution maintained.
Only if they aren't behind enemy lines plotting an attack on Americans, otherwise they should be treated as any other enemy combatant.
See my reply to XDm9mm above.
This has to be the funniest article I've seen in a long time and the way it was presented is hilarious!
First the article title the seeder used:
Oooh, That's Gotta Sting Bad. Trump Loses Out On "Most Admired American Man" Title for 2017 To 'You Know Who'
when the actual title for the article based on the link provided is:
President Trump is America's second-most admired man, poll finds
Here is the entire article without the photos and with my notes and highlights in red :
President Donald Trump snagged a major legislative victory with the signing of his landmark tax reform bill last week, but he’s still living in his predecessor's shadow when it comes to public admiration, according to a new poll.
Trump trailed former President Barack Obama as the most admired man for 2017, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, marking one of the very few times in recent history that an incumbent president hasn’t taken the top spot.
Gallup has asked the most admired man question 71 times since 1946 and the sitting president has won 58 of those times, according to Gallup.
“Trump's unpopularity is holding him back from winning the most admired distinction,” Gallup’s Jeffrey Jones said Wednesday . “The incumbent president is the usual winner since he is arguably the most prominent figure in the country -- but when the president is unpopular, other well-known and well-liked men have been able to finish first.”
"Former presidents commonly make the top 10 list but rarely win, with Obama only the second to do so, along with Eisenhower in 1967 and 1968," he added.
Seventeen percent of Americans surveyed named Obama as the man they admire most, while 14 percent named Trump, the poll said.
Hillary Clinton , meanwhile, was named America’s most admired woman, with 9 percent of the vote, while former first lady Michelle Obama came in second with 7 percent.
“Hillary Clinton has been named most admired more than any woman -- or man -- in Gallup's polling history,” Jones said. “But the likelihood that she will continue to hold that honor in future years seems less certain, with her popularity at a nadir and the percentage naming her as most admired the lowest in 15 years.”
The poll was, however, largely split along party lines as Republicans were far more likely to name Trump than Obama.
Thirty-five percent of Republicans surveyed chose Trump as the man they admired most, while only 1 percent chose Obama, according to the poll. Meanwhile, 39 percent of Democrats named Obama, versus 3 percent who named Trump.
Other notable men on Gallup’s list included Pope Francis , Rev. Billy Graham, Sen. John McCain and Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk.
Media mogul Oprah Winfrey, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and German Chancellor Angela Merkel rounded out the top 5 for most admired women, according to the poll, while about a quarter of those surveyed said they couldn’t name a man or a woman they admire most.
The poll was conducted via telephone between Dec. 4 and Dec. 11, using a random sample of 1,049 adults, Gallup said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's put this all in perspective. LOL!!!!! 17 percent chose Obama and 14 percent chose Trump out of the 1,049 people surveyed out of over 300 million people. LOL
Notice how ABC sneaked that little 'has been' in its critique of Hillary Clinton and ignored Hillary Clinton Favorable Rating at New Low at 36% as of December 17, 2017.
And if you want something to sting you, then consider Trump and Obama have basically the same approval and disapproval ratings at the end of their first year even though Trump received 3 times the amount of negative coverage as Obama. Now that has to really bite you. LOL
That is the only cogent comment you've made on this seed.
