It seems that the opinion of the American people as sampled by the Gallup poll is greatly influenced by recent events. Keep in mind that #11 through #20 of people most admired by Americans in 2019 includes some unusual choices Vladimir Putin Bill Clinton George W. Bush Joe Biden Benjamin Netanyahu Colin Powell Mike Pence Jeff Bezos Clint Eastwood Brad Pitt |
