Billy Graham Is Fourth Most Admired Man in 2011; He Has Finished in Top 10 of Annual List 55 Times

The Christian Post website reports today (December 29, 2011) that a USA Today/Gallup poll -- conducted two weeks ago -- sought to learn who American adults think the most admirable people in the world were in 2011, and evangelist Billy Graham was listed as the fourth most admired man.

Although he has never claimed the number one spot in this annual poll, Graham has finished in the list's top ten more than any other person -- 55 times.

Graham, 93, finished behind three American presidents -- Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.

Businessmen Warren Buffet and Bill Gates took the fifth and ninth spots, respectively, while religious leaders Pope Benedict XVI and Thomas Monson -- president of the Mormon Church -- took spots eight and ten.
