Who did YOU admire most in 2009? Among most celebrities, political leaders, famous athlete etc, there must be one people you admire most, right? With much doubt and curiosity, we did an interesting research that who was the most admired people of 2009, regardless men or women. The result really astonished me. Elin Nordegrens in good company! Tiger Woods wife rounds out Gallups annual survey of the 10 women most admired in 2009, placing her just behind the likes of Maya Angelou, Queen Elizabeth II and Sarah Palin. According to a new Gallup poll, Hillary Clinton is the most admired woman in America. Barely. Clintons runner-up, Sarah Palin, almost knocked the Secretary of State from the most-admired perch shes assumed 14 times. The third most admired woman in America is Oprah Winfrey, with 8 percent; fourth on the list is Michelle Obama, with 7 percent. Makes sense so far. Next up is Condoleezza Rice and Queen Elizabeth IIeach with two percent. (Oddly, British royalty counts: The poll is actually meant to determine the most admired woman by Americans). Then we have the one-percent group: A four-way tie between Margaret Thatcher, Maya Angelou, Angela Merkel and . . . Elin Nordegren Woods. And when it comes to the gentleman, there was no contest President Obama dominated the list of the most admired men of 2009. Most Admired Women:
