The people have spoken, again.

Despite a rocky year for Democrats, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama andhave both held on to their reign as the most admired man and woman in America, coming in with strong leads ahead of of Oprah Winfrey, First Lady Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin, Pope Francis and former President Bill Clinton, according toGallups annual poll.

This is the presidents seventh consecutive year topping the most admired list a not-so surprising feat as sitting presidents have typically held this spot.

Where The Clintons Hit The Trail in 2014

Six Top Democrats Who Arent So Ready for Hillary

Clinton, who is widely expected to announce a bid for president next year, has held the most admired woman title 17 times in the past 18 years -breaking the streak only once, in 2001, when then-First Lady Laura Bush snatched the top spot following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Even so, Clinton only received 12 percent of the vote this year, a number which has steadily declined over the past few years. In 2012, 21 percent of people chose her as the most admired woman and in 2013 that number dropped to 15.

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama 'Most Admired' People - Again

Washington Hillary Rodham Clinton is once again Americas most admired woman her 13th straight year atop Gallups annual survey and 19th time overall.

But for the second year in a row, Ms. Clintons number has declined. In 2012, 21 percent named her the most admired woman, and in 2013, she fell to 15 percent. In 2014, shes down to 12 percent.

Whats going on? Politics. Clinton is widely seen as a likely presidential candidate in 2016, and we suspect that has repoliticized her image. As secretary of State for President Obamas first term, she stayed out of the political fray. Now shes fully back in, weighing in on the issues of the day and doing nothing to discourage speculation about when she might announce her campaign.

Gallup, not surprisingly, finds partisan influence in Americans choices.

Republicans' and Democrats' top five most admired women include both Clinton and [Oprah] Winfrey, and their top five most admired men include both the president and the pope, writes Jeffrey Jones, Gallups managing editor. Beyond these, their choices differ.

But heres an interesting nugget that may give Clintonites pause: Among Democrats and Democratic leaners, Clinton got only 20 percent. Shes still far and away the top choice of Democrats for the nomination, but in Gallups open-ended most admired question, shes the choice of only one-fifth of her partisan fellows.

Democrats top five women are Clinton (20 percent), entertainment mogul Winfrey (10 percent), Pakistani teen activist Malala Yousafzai (7), first lady Michelle Obama (6), and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) of Massachusetts (3).

Clinton enthusiasts can at least take comfort that she scores almost seven times better than Senator Warren, the liberal firebrand who insists shes not running for president.

Republicans top five women are former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (9 percent), Ms. Winfrey (6 percent), Clinton (5), former GOP VP nominee Sarah Palin (4), and actress Angelina Jolie (3).

That 5 percent for Clinton among Republicans is a little plus for the former first lady/senator/secretary of State. But were probably way over-interpreting all this. The 2014 midterms just concluded, and maybe some folks are just taking a break from politics and spreading the love. Malala just won the Nobel Peace Prize, no doubt boosting her overall score from 2 percent last year to 5 percent this year.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Hillary Clinton takes the top spot on a list of admired living women for the 13th year in a row, according to an annual survey released by Gallup on Monday.

President Barack Obama, meanwhile, is considered the most admired living man in any part of the world.

When asked to name a woman they've heard or read about and admire, 12% mentioned Clinton, the former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady.

Eight percent said Oprah Winfrey, 5% said Nobel Peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and 4% said first lady Michelle Obama.

Other names mentioned included actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie (2%), former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (2%), Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge (2%), Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts (1%), and former first lady Laura Bush (1%).

Clinton, who's considered the Democratic frontrunner if she runs for president in 2016, has also held the top spot in 17 of the past 18 years. Laura Bush was considered the most admired woman in 2001, not long after the 9/11 attacks.

Poll: Hillary Clinton most admired woman, Obama most admired man

WASHINGTON: Presumed Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton would comfortably defeat Jeb Bush for president if the two members of their famous US political clans went head to head in 2016, poll results showed today.

A CNN-ORC poll showed former Florida governor Bush, the son and brother of two former US presidents, as the Republican Party's clear frontrunner for the White House, nearly two weeks after he announced he was "actively" exploring a presidential bid.

With 23 per cent of respondents' votes, Bush outpaced New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (13 per cent), conservative physician Ben Carson (seven per cent), former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee and Senator Rand Paul (both six per cent) as top Republican contender in the race to see who will succeed President Barack Obama two years from now.

Senator Marco Rubio and congressman Paul Ryan were at five percent support, with several others, including conservative Senator Ted Cruz and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, in lower single digits.

Clinton, who has served as secretary of state, US senator and first lady, came out on top in matchups against all Republican rivals.

Bush fared best, garnering 41 per cent of votes against Clinton's 54 per cent.

Christie was less impressive in a face-off with Clinton, losing 39 per cent to 56 per cent.

Ryan, the 2012 vice presidential nominee, fared slightly better, earning 41 percent to Clinton's 56 percent.

On the Democrats' side, Clinton bigfoots all potential challengers, claiming 66 percent support.

Her nearest rival, liberal Senator Elizabeth Warren, earned just nine percent, while Vice President Joe Biden received eight percent.
