That marks a record for Gallup — this is the 18th time she's been number one on the list of most admired women. 

It's also the 12th consecutive year for the former secretary of state, who is, of course, a rumored 2016 presidential candidate. (Via CNN)

This year she was followed on Gallup's list by Oprah Winfrey with 6 percent and First Lady Michelle Obama with 5 percent. (Via OWN)

To conduct the survey, Gallup asked a little more than 1,000 Americans to name who they admire most, living anywhere in the world.
