*President Donald Trump and his predecessor Barack Obama have tied for the title of America’s most admired man, according to Gallup’s annual poll. 

This marks the first time Trump has earned the distinction, and the 12th time for Obama. 

According to the Daily Mail, eighteen percent of Americans quizzed in that Gallop poll nominated Trump as the man that they admired most, while another 18 percent of voters named former president Obama as  the man “living today in any part of the world” that they admired most. 

No other man on the ballot – which included Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders – was named by more than two percent of voters, the report states.

The poll, which was carried out in the first two weeks of December, also named Michelle Obama as the most influential woman in America, doubling the vote received by Melania Trump.

Finishing out in the top 10 are former President Jimmy Carter, businessman Elon Musk, Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates, Pope Francis, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., California Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the Dalai Lama, and investor Warren Buffett.

Since 1948, Gallup has asked U.S. adults to identify which man and woman living anywhere in the world they admire most in an open-ended poll. Throughout the years, Americans often choose the incumbent president as the most admired man.

The top 10 most admired women also include: Oprah Winfrey, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, England’s Queen Elizabeth II, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
