Posted 12/28/2002 3:48 PM Updated 12/28/2002 3:48 PM Poll: Bushes, J. Lo among most admired URL:http://www.usatoday.com/life/2002-12-28-most-admired_x.htm WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton, Laura Bush and J. Lo have something in common: Americans like them. A Gallup poll found the nation divided in the contest for "most admired" woman. Among men, President Bush remained the clear favorite for the second year in a row. A Gallup poll found the nation divided in the contest for "most admired" woman. Among men, President Bush remained the clear favorite for the second year in a row. USA TODAY Clinton Clinton, the former first lady who now represents New York in the Senate, and her successor in the White House, Laura Bush, topped Gallup's list of women along with talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Clinton was favored by 7% of those surveyed; Bush and Winfrey had 6% each. Among men, the president had a commanding 28% for men — well ahead of the runner-up, former president Jimmy Carter who was in single digits. Jennifer Lopez's new movie and album, along with heavy media coverage of her pending wedding nuptials to actor Ben Affleck, boosted her to the sixth spot with 2%. That put her on par with incoming Sen. Elizabeth Dole, R-N.C., and national security adviser Condoleezza Rice. Former first lady Barbara Bush and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher each got 3%. Among younger respondents, Lopez outpolled them all with 10%. Reuters Jennifer Lopez Party lines had some bearing on results. Clinton pulled 15% among Democrats; the first lady led among Republicans, with 13%. They remain no match for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who won 60% of Americans' vote in 1963 following her husband's assassination. President Bush had earned 39% in the wake of last year's terrorist attacks, a record high among men since the survey began in 1948. His dip in Gallup's 2002 poll mirrors his sliding approval ratings over the last several months. Events also pushed up Carter's standing, with the recent Nobel Peace Prize winner rising from just 1% in 2001. He was the favorite among Democrats polled. Secretary of State Colin Powell, Pope John Paul II, former President Bill Clinton and the Rev. Billy Graham each earned 2 to 4%. The telephone survey of 1,009 adults was conducted Dec. 16-17 and has a sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Respondents were asked to name the two people they admire most. Only one man, Academy Award winning actor Denzel Washington, from the entertainment world made it into the men's top-10. He rounded out that list along with former South African President Nelson Mandela, former Vice President Al Gore and former President Reagan. Poet Maya Angelou and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright also made the top-10 women's list. Copyright 2002 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
