Melania Trump More ‘Admired’ Than Kate Middleton Or Beyoncé In Poll, But Meghan Markle Did Not Make List

Most 'admired' list includes Queen Elizabeth, Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, but Prince Harry's American fiancée did not make list.

Melania Trump was polled as “more admired” than Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, or Beyoncé. Yet, Meghan Markle never made the list at all. What do we know about the poll, and could there be a logical reason why the Suits actress didn’t make the cut?
Gallup asked 1,049 adult respondents, “What woman that you have heard or read about, living today in any part of the world, do you admire most? And who is your second choice?” According to Newsweek, the Gallup poll was conducted between December 4 through December 11.
The most admired woman was Hillary Clinton with nine percent, Michelle Obama took second place with seven percent and possible presidential candidate Oprah Winfrey was third with four percent. Queen Elizabeth received two percent of the votes.
Condoleezza Rice, Melania Trump, Nikki Haley, Duchess Kate Middleton, and Beyoncé were at the bottom of the list at one percent each, but their names were listed in order of the amount of votes received.
This means that the First Lady fared better than Duchess Catherine or Beyoncé, yet the hottest female news story of 2017, Meghan Markle was not on this list. Why wasn’t the Suits actress on the list?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry officially became engaged on November 27. The Gallup poll was conducted a full week after the loved-up couple made it official, on that quiet night when they were roasting a chicken for dinner and Harry proposed.
Despite the press and the hoopla that occurred back and forth across the pond over the news that the philanthropic American actress was marrying a British prince, obviously did not sway those adults polled.
Yet, this is not the first time that Meghan Markle has not polled so well. Back in early November, when Brits were anxiously awaiting the official engagement announcement between Meghan and Harry, it was determined that Meghan needed to “work harder to engage with the British public” based on a poor showing in a poll on the royal family.
According to Express, the Opinium Research poll showed an approval rating of a mere 19 percent. To compare this to other royals, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, whom the late Princess Diana called a “Rottweiler,” had a 20 percent approval rating by the 2,500 UK adults polled. In comparison, her fiancé Prince Harry had “three-quarters” of the vote, and was the most popular member of the royal family.

UN threatens sanctions over faltering peace deal in Mali

The UN Security Council on Wednesday gave parties to a peace deal in Mali until the end of March to show progress or face sanctions for obstructing the 2015 agreement. The council unanimously adopted a French-drafted statement that “expressed a shared sense of impatience regarding the persistent delays” in making the agreement a reality on the ground. Council members “expressed their intention to follow the situation closely and to respond with appropriate steps should the parties not implement the commitments” by the end of March, the statement warned. Islamic extremists linked to Al-Qaeda took control of the desert north of Mali in early 2012, but were largely driven out in a French-led military operation launched in January 2013. Mali’s government signed a peace agreement with coalitions of armed groups in June 2015 to end the fighting, but insurgents remain active, including in central Mali. Last week, the government and two other armed groups, the Plateforme and Coordin...

New Porsche 911 Turbo spied – next-generation of the all-weather supercar incoming

Image
Porsche’s next generation 911 Turbo spied with tell-tale side intakes and wide body. Should go on sale late in 2019 Prototypes of the next generation   Porsche 911   have been spotted multiple times already, but images have just surfaced of a development car sporting some telling details that suggest it might wear the famous   Turbo   badge. Some chunky wheelarch extensions and side-mounted intakes are visible in the spy pictures, signs leading to the assumption that - like the current 991 generation Turbo - the new car will feature a wider body than other 911s.   Judging by these images, the next 911 will probably do without any shocking changes to its aesthetic, rather the new car will focus on modernising the 911’s detailing without straying too far from Porsche’s comfort zone. At the front, the grille openings look to be shared with standard 911 prototypes that have already been spotted, expect these to be changed for production. Like t...

‘I can’t guarantee Sanchez’s stay at Arsenal’

Arsenal’s Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez celebrates after scoring their third goal during the English Premier League football match between Crystal Palace and Arsenal at Selhurst Park in south London on December 28, 2017. Manager Arsene Wenger says he cannot guarantee that striker Alexis Sanchez will remain at Arsenal long term, after the forward scored twice in the victory at Crystal Palace on Thursday night. The Chile striker can leave for free this summer when his contract expires and he has been linked with a move to league leaders Manchester City, who failed in their bid to sign him on deadline day.When asked about the 29-year-old’s future, the Frenchman said: “Nobody knows what will happen. It’s difficult to speculate. “We are focused on short term, that means the next game with the players committed and ready to fight. It’s not a guarantee of how long you stay somewhere.“They are questioned, always, when people don’t have long contracts. The best way to show they are co...
