The ever inspiring Michelle Obama is the world's most admired woman, according to an extensive new YouGov poll.
The lawyer, writer and former First Lady of the United States topped a poll in which 42,000 people from 41 different countries were asked either "Who do you truly admire?" or "Who do you most admire?"
