President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lead as the most admired man and woman in America, respectively, by wide margins, according to a new poll Monday.

Obama and Clinton top the Gallup poll for the sixth consecutive year.

Sixteen percent of Americans surveyed said they most admired Obama, a dozen points ahead of the next contenders, former President George W. Bush and Pope Francis, who each got 4 percent. Former President Bill Clinton got 2 percent, and former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former President Jimmy Carter each got 1 percent to round out the top.

Clinton led among women with 15 percent. Behind her were Oprah Winfrey, with 6 percent, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and first lady Michelle Obama, each with 5 percent.

Though the president and the possible 2016 presidential candidate will top the poll for another year, both saw their level of support decline in the past year. Thirty percent picked Obama in 2012, and 21 percent picked Clinton.

This is the 18th time that Clinton has topped the list as most admired woman in America, a record in Gallup's polling history, and it's her 12th year in a row.

Gallup surveyed 1,031 adults from Dec. 5 to 8 for the poll, which has an error margin of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Le Rwanda au Mozambique : qui les a placés là, pourquoi ils ne peuvent pas rester et pourquoi la SADC doit les remplacer avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents

  Qui a placé le Rwanda là-bas, pourquoi la France refuse de le remplacer, comment le déploiement est devenu un bouclier contre les sanctions, et pourquoi la SADC doit agir avant que les dégâts ne deviennent permanents Mars 2026   Résumé exécutif Les sanctions occidentales contre les Forces de Défense du Rwanda (RDF), imposées par les États-Unis le 2 mars 2026 en vertu du Global Magnitsky Act et relayées par une pression croissante de l'Union européenne, ont mis à nu une contradiction stratégique de premier ordre. La même force militaire sanctionnée pour son soutien opérationnel direct au groupe rebelle M23 en République démocratique du Congo est simultanément le principal garant sécuritaire d'un projet de gaz naturel liquéfié (GNL) de 20 milliards de dollars exploité par le géant français TotalEnergies à Cabo Delgado, dans le nord du Mozambique. Cette analyse répond à trois questions interconnectées dont les réponses définissent ...

UK and US in Africa Great Lakes: A Strategy Built on Sand

  A Strategy Built on Sand: How Western Military Support for Rwanda and Uganda. Fuelled Authoritarianism and Prolonged Conflict in the African Great Lakes Region.   Introduction: The Logic That Failed For more than three decades, the United States and the United Kingdom have invested heavily in building what they hoped would be stable, capable, and pro-Western security partners in the African Great Lakes Region. Rwanda and Uganda were the centrepiece of this strategy. Both governments received billions of dollars in financial assistance, advanced military training, logistical support, and sophisticated equipment. Both were celebrated in Western capitals as models of governance, post-conflict reconstruction, and economic development. That strategy has failed — comprehensively and consequentially. What the United States and United Kingdom created were not pillars of regional stability. They created highly militarised, authoritaria...

Working for Money : How France-Based Media Abandoned Credible Journalism to Serve Paul Kagame

A Critical Analysis of Jeune Afrique, Africa Intelligence, Africa Arabia and Le Point.   Introduction. Media organisations do not operate in a political vacuum. When influential publications depend on financial relationships with governments for their commercial survival, the resulting editorial distortions are not incidental — they are structural. In the African Great Lakes region, where political violence, human rights violations and systematic impunity intersect with international diplomacy and foreign investment, the question of who shapes the narrative is not academic. It is a matter of accountability. Several France-based publications — among them Jeune Afrique, Africa Intelligence, Africa Arabia and Le Point — have established themselves as the primary reference points for international audiences seeking to understand Rwanda and its role in Central and East Africa. Their analyses reach diplomats, policymakers, investors and political elites across Af...
