Obama and Trump tie as America’s ‘most admired man’

Nobody is as admired as much by Americans as Barack Obama, except that is Donald Trump.
A poll that suggested a starkly divided nation, found the current and former presidents tying for the title of America’s most admired man.

Underscoring the divide was the fact the split was almost entirely along party lines, with 45 per cent of Republicans opting for Mr Trump and 41 of Democrats selecting his predecessor at the White House.

Meanwhile, former first lady Michelle Obama was the most admired woman among Americans, securing 10 per cent of votes, with current first lady Melania Trump being selected by 5 per of respondents and coming second.

“Each year since 1948, Gallup has asked Americans to name, in an open-ended fashion, which man and woman living anywhere in the world they admire most. This year’s results are based on a December 2-15 poll,” said the polling company.

It added: “Americans’ choice for most admired man this year is sharply divided along party lines.”

After Mr Trump and Mr Obama, who was ranked in first place for the 12th consecutive year, former president Jimmy Carter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, were tied for third place, followed by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

Pope Francis, senator Bernie Sanders, House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff, the Dalai Lama and billionaire investor Warren Buffet were also in the top ten.

Among women, teenage climate activist was among the most top five most admired, along with former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey.

“The remainder of the top 10 for women includes Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, House speaker Nancy Pelosi, Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, German chancellor Angela Merkel and former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley,” said Gallup.

It added: “Queen Elizabeth finished in the top 10 for the 51st time, more than any other woman.”

Donald Trump Ties Barack Obama as Most Admired Man of 2019 in New Gallup Poll

For the first time ever, President Donald Trump tied with his predecessor, Barack Obama, as the most admired man in America this year, according to the annual poll from Gallup. 2019 marks Obama’s 12th year at the top of the list, tying him with former president Dwight Eisenhower.

Trump has never before topped the list, which is compiled by asking Americans to name which living man and woman they admire most. The question is open-ended.

Overall, both the 44th and 45th president were the most admired man alive for 18% of American adults. The split along each man’s 18% followed party lines: 41% of Democrats chose Obama and 45% of Republicans chose Trump.

Others who were named this year include Tesla founder Elon Musk, former president Jimmy Carter and Vermont senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. No other man besides Trump and Obama was mentioned by more than 2% of respondents.

According to Gallup, the incumbent U.S. president is usually the choice for America’s most admired living man. Out of 72 prior polls, the incumbent president has earned the distinction 58 times.

“When the incumbent president is not the choice, it is usually because he is unpopular politically,” Gallup noted, “which was the case for Trump in 2017 (36% approval rating) and 2018 (40%).”
Trump’s approval rating in 2019 is up to 45%.

Former first lady Michelle Obama topped the survey of America’s most admired woman with 10% of the vote, down from 15% in 2018. Melania Trump finished second with 5%, followed by a three-way tie between Hillary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and teen climate-change activist Greta Thunberg, each with 3%.

A man was heard saying that whites will never be able to celebrate their race like they can. (african Americans)



He has a point. You can celebrate black history month but you will never see a white history month because that would be racist.

I think EVERY single person should scream out loud how they love the color of their skin. We should all be proud of who we are. But we should be able to say it too.

Nearly 6 million people are off food stamps since Trump took office

More than 5.9 million individuals have dropped off foods stamps since 2017 according to the USDA.

Trump's food stamp cuts begin soon – and black Americans to be hardest hit

As Kyle Waide visited the Atlanta community food bank recently, where he is CEO, he ran into a woman who had recently lost her administrative job at a university. She was looking for work, she told him, but it was hard to find. She was struggling to get by.

Though she had food stamp benefits, she still needed to visit Waide’s food bank until she landed a new job, she added, because she had a home and a child to pay for. With her job gone, she said, she needed all the extra help she could get to feed her family.
Thousands in Atlanta like her are already struggling to make ends meet, even before the Trump administration scales back benefits to low-income Americans to the supplemental nutrition assistance program (Snap) as food stamps are known. Approximately 700,000 Americans will soon lose their benefits as the government tightens the regulations around stable work requirements for recipients, stretching the already scarce resources of the communities that Waide’s operation helps.
Those communities are often African American, raising the prospect that Trump’s move will put extra stress on minority families. Approximately one in three households using Snap benefits are African American. In general, African American households are more likely to experience food insecurity, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. In 2016, Snap helped more than 13 million African American households put food on the table, according to data from the US agriculture department’s fiscal year 2016 Snap Households Characteristic data.
Waide stresses the importance of Snap even as his food bank provides more than 63m meals to more than 750,000 Georgians annually. Snap, he says, provides 12 times the amount of assistance that food banks do nationwide.
“[Snap] is a very important source of nutrition for families, kids and seniors in our community,” he says. Annually, the food bank helps 10,000 residents of the state enroll for or renew Snap benefits.
Alex Camardelle, senior policy analyst at the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, says many of the 100,000 Georgians who are thought to be affected by the coming change will be African American.
“We’re concerned that high levels of unemployment in certain areas of the state, despite an overall improvement in the unemployment numbers, is going to disproportionately impact black Georgians,” he says.
Black Georgians, he adds, have an unemployment rate in the state that could be triple that of white residents, often because of additional barriers they face, like where they live, access to transportation and the difficulty of finding a job in a mandated period of time.
Waide echoes the sentiment. “Poverty and hunger disproportionately affect people of color. These are going to be low-income folks in rural communities who are economically vulnerable by definition,” he said. “When they can’t eat, they can’t get over other hurdles.”
Rural households experience more struggle with food security, according to the Food Research and Action Center, compared with households in metro areas. Food insecurity is also twice as high among African American households compared with white households, in rural communities or not.
The average Georgian on Snap benefits remains approximately eight months before cycling out of the program as they get back to some sort of stability, Waide explains, just as the program intends. The myth of anyone perpetually staying on government benefits just is not true, he says.
When the change to the work requirement takes place in April next year, Waide is confident the food bank will see a high demand to try to make up for the shortfall.
Last year, he points out, his food bank stepped in when a government shutdown left thousands of federal workers in Atlanta without pay.
“We mobilized our network and donors to distribute hundreds of thousands of meals. And we’ll do the same here, this time,” he said.
