(Taylor Media Services) Three of the nation’s best known Black females are included in the Gallop Polling organization’s list of the world’s ten most admired women. The list, released last week, is headed by Democratic Party presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton (18%). However, the number two spot on the list went to television talk-show diva Oprah Winfrey (16%). The other Black women on the list were Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (5%) and poet Maya Angelou (1%).
Barack Obama – among nation’s most admired men
Meanwhile, the list of most admired men included two Blacks: U.S. presidential contender Barack Obama (5%) and former South African leader Nelson Mandela (3%). However, President George Bush topped the list by drawing support from 10% of the slightly over 1,000 Americans surveyed by Gallop and the newspaper USA Today. It was the lowest rating for Bush since he became president in 2000. He was followed by former President Bill Clinton (8%).
