Who’s the man that Americans most admire?
According to Gallup — the most trusted polling organization — it’s a dead heat between former President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump.
Both are “most admired” by 18% of Americans.
Trump’s score increased by 5 percentage points from 2018.
Obama’s inched down by a point over that period.
Pundits say that Trump’s increase is mostly attributable to the continuing economic boom
I’ll take that…
Obama’s decline?
In 2018, Obama was “most admired” by 39% of Dems … that number dropped to 35% in 2019.
Hypotheses include:
- Out of sight, out of mind … happens to all former presidents.
- Way more “hope” than “change”
- Not progressive enough for 2019 Dems.
Gallup didn’t offer a point-of-view as to whether impeachment boosted or dampened Trump’s scores.
