  • White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been the subject of intense scrutiny and criticism as one of President Donald Trump's chief spokespersons since his inauguration in January 2017. Her consistent defense of sometimes vacillating and even contradictory statements by Trump, as well as her occasionally combative style have made her the subject of ridicule by late night talk show hosts and in Saturday Night Live sketches. In April 2018, comedian Michelle Wolf targeted Huckabee Sanders in a controversial monologue at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. It might come as a surprise, then, to learn that many members of the American public admire her more than nearly any other woman in the world. In May 2018, the Trump 2020 Facebook page — which is not affiliated with the president's official re-election campaign — made just such a claim, posting a meme which read: This is true. In April 2018, the UK-based polling firm YouGov published the results of its World's Most Admired survey. Respondents in the United States ranked Huckabee Sanders the ninth most admired woman in the world. (You can view the United States' rankings by choosing USA from the drop-down list of countries.) Huckabee Sanders was ranked behind Nobel Peace Prize-winner Malala Yousafzai, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Queen Elizabeth II and Oprah Winfrey. The woman Americans admire most, according to the survey, is Michelle Obama. Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was ranked fourth. By some distance, the man most admired by American survey respondents is former president Barack Obama. His successor, Donald Trump, was ranked second, ahead of Pope Francis, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Clint Eastwood and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders — all of whom appeared in the top ten. In an article accompanying the rankings, YouGov explained how the Most Admired list was finalized: Huckabee Sanders received a percentage share of 3.6 percent — the same share of the vote received by First Lady Melania Trump, who was listed as the tenth most admired woman in the world among American survey respondents, but who effectively tied for ninth place with the White House Press Secretary.
