Last year he lived up to former US President Barack Obama: Obama topped the list for more than ten years in a row. This time Obama was second in the Gallup poll (15 percent), followed by future US President Joe Biden (6 percent), renowned American immunologist Anthony Fauci (3 percent), who is the face of United United in the fight against Corona. -It has become a pandemic, like Pope Francis (2 percent).
In the case of women, the former first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, returned to occupy the first place, with 10 percent of the votes.

This year will be followed by the future Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris (6 percent), who will be the first woman to assume this powerful position in the United States. Then come the current First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump (4 percent), and the American presenter Oprah Winfrey (3 percent). German Chancellor Angela Merkel (2 percent) ranks fifth in favor of Americans this year. He has appeared in the top ten in the survey eight times, as one of the few non-Americans.
