Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Hillary Clinton takes the top spot on a list of admired living women for the 13th year in a row, according to an annual survey released by Gallup on Monday.

President Barack Obama, meanwhile, is considered the most admired living man in any part of the world.

When asked to name a woman they've heard or read about and admire, 12% mentioned Clinton, the former secretary of state, New York senator and first lady.

Eight percent said Oprah Winfrey, 5% said Nobel Peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and 4% said first lady Michelle Obama.

Other names mentioned included actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie (2%), former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (2%), Princess Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge (2%), Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts (1%), and former first lady Laura Bush (1%).

Clinton, who's considered the Democratic frontrunner if she runs for president in 2016, has also held the top spot in 17 of the past 18 years. Laura Bush was considered the most admired woman in 2001, not long after the 9/11 attacks.

New Yorkers arent eager to ring in the new year with politicians but if they had to, theyd rather hang with Hillary Clinton than with the mayor or governor.

The former secretary of state is the New Years date of choice for 37% of New York voters in a Quinnipiac poll released Monday.

That gave her a wide lead over both Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio only 8% of voters were interested in toasting 2015 with either of them.

But 45% of New Yorkers said no thanks to all pols.

Would you like to toast the event with the man in the Governors Mansion? Very few say yes. The man in Gracie Mansion? Not too many takers for that either, said Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. Their favorite New Years date would be the lady from Chappaqua.

Clinton, the likely Democratic front-runner in the 2016 presidential race, fared better with her own party than Republicans.

Only 15% of GOP supporters wanted to sing Auld Lang Syne with Clinton, compared to 52% of Democrats.

New York Citys progressive mayor would be the best New Years date for only 2% of Republicans polled, compared to a still-not-impressive 12% of Democrats.

Cuomo was the only Democrat who got love from the opposing party: 11% of Republicans said they would most like to spend New Years with Cuomo, compared to 8% of Democrats.

Meanwhile, a new Gallup poll found that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are the most admired Americans.

Clinton, who is widely expected to announce a bid for president next year, has held the most admired woman title 17 times in the past 18 years -breaking the streak only once, in 2001, when then-First Lady Laura Bush snatched the top spot following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Even so, Clinton only received 12 percent of the vote this year, a number which has steadily declined over the past few years. In 2012, 21 percent of people chose her as the most admired woman and in 2013 that number dropped to 15.
