Yesterday I blogged wondering if Donald Trump has a chance to win the United States Presidency. American polls keep saying that he hasn't, but in the latest UK-based YouGov Most Admired Men in the USA Poll, Trump is #8| Barack Obama | 10.3% | Michelle Obama | 7.5% | |||||

And take a look at who is two places under Trump, it's our very own Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu!
Do you remember not that long ago when Netanyahu was invited by the Republicans to speak to Congress and the Democrats had fits? Obama and his cronies fear Bibi, because Bibi has points that POTUS and staff can't or don't want to answer. You may very well know that I don't agree with everything Netanyahu says or does, but he's certainly much better than the American President. And Netanyahu's knowledge of World History etc is unbeatable.
It's interesting that, with the exception of Trump, all the other Republicans are less popular than Bibi is. This poll does show that the American Left is strong. Obama, Sanders and even Jimmy Carter are ahead of Trump.
Yes, for good or for bad, it is just a poll. Don't forget that. Still food for thought....
