Michelle Obama is the woman Americans most admire, according to a Gallup poll.

This is the first time in 17 years a woman other than Hillary Clinton topped Gallup's Most Admired Woman list. For 2018, Clinton actually slipped behind Obama and Oprah Winfrey.

Between Dec. 3 and 12, Gallup asked over 1,000 adults nationwide to name a woman and man living anywhere in the world they admire most. Gallup has conducted this poll annually since 1946, with the exception of 1976.

Michelle Obama, who is currently on a nationwide tour promoting her new memoir "Becoming," was mentioned 15 percent of the time, giving her a huge lead this year. Oprah Winfrey was mentioned 5 percent of the time. Hillary Clinton and Melania Trump tied, as 4 percent of people mentioned them. Also on the list: Queen Elizabeth, Angela Merkel, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Ellen DeGeneres.
