A recent poll by the Abacus Data market research firm revealed that if Canadians were voting in the presidential contest, a whopping 80 per cent would choose Democrat Hillary Clinton over Mr Trump.

A slightly larger number — 82 per cent — told Abacus they believed that Mr Trump was either probably or certainly a racist and he did not understand the rest of the world.

Three times we have asked and three times we have been told: Bill Gates is the most admired man in the world. Since 2015, when we first begun to test the most admired men and women separately, Angelina Jolie has also come out on top both times. So in the third installation of YouGov's massive international study of personality admiration involving over 31,000 interviews, it's safe to say the global public values humanitarianism over politics.

Hillary Clinton remains the third most admired woman, boosting her presidential bid with a show of global admiration nearly equal to Obama's. In the vast expanses of India and China she places first (ahead of Malala Yousafzai) and second (ahead of Angelina Jolie), respectively.
