Gallup’s annual survey, conducted Dec. 3-12 this year, asks Americans, in an open-ended question, to name the man and woman living anywhere in the world today whom they admire most. Gallup first asked the question in 1946 and has done so every year since, except 1976.[Gallup]
2018 has definitely been a BANNER year for Michelle Obama and the Former President and his entire FAMILY!!!
