Gallup's most admired man and woman poll
Gallup, an American analytics and advisory company, conducted an annual opinion poll to determine the most admired man and woman in the United States at the end of most years from 1946 to 2020. Americans are asked, without prompting, to say which man and woman "living today in any part of the world" they admire the most.
