Poll: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton Most Admired by Americans
"Connecticut teachers" and US troops also responses in latest Gallup poll
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll on whom Americans admire the most reveals something new, and something not so new: Hillary Rodham Clinton is once again the most admired woman, and Barack Obama is once again the most admired man.
