The true interpretation of that Gallup poll is that 82 percent of America doesn't admire Trump.

[Grasswire2]

It's being headlined as Trump and Obama both tied for most admired man (each with about 18 percent).

But the poll allows respondents to name fake people, dead people, Mickey Mouse, Uncle Henry ..... anyone.

And so it means that 82 percent of America did NOT choose to admire Trump most.

THAT should be the headline.

2. what we CAN say is that the poll is meaningless. nt

5. Essentially all of the other actual people mentioned are left leaners.

So another interpretation is that 82 percent admire people on the left. If all of the admirable people on the left hadn't split the vote, Obama would have creamed Trump.
