Poll: Hillary Rodham Clinton is most admired woman in America December 29, 2000 Web posted at: 11:02 p.m. EST (0402 GMT) WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton tops the list of women most admired by Americans, according to a poll released Friday. The New York senator-elect received the highest number of votes, 19 percent of the total, followed by talk show host Oprah Winfrey and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, each with 4 percent, in a CNN/USA Today poll. Americans were less certain about which man they most admired, leaving a cluster of politicians and religious leaders at the top of the list. President Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II each received 6 percent. President-elect George W. Bush and his defeated rival Vice President Al Gore each received 5 percent. Bush's newly appointed secretary of state, Colin Powell, also received 5 percent and the Rev. Billy Graham followed closely behind, with 4 percent. Clinton has topped the list of most admired men every year since he took office in 1993. Like her husband, the first lady has also been cited as one of the most admired women since 1993. Her high point came in the midst of the impeachment scandal in 1998, when she garnered 28 percent of the votes. The Gallup Organization conducted the poll of more than 1,000 adults from December 15 to December 17. The margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points. Copyright 2000 Reuters.
