The current commander in chief came out on top with 36 percent, followed by Obama at 24 percent. Former first lady Michelle Obama polled far ahead of her successor, first lady Melania Trump, though, 12 percent to 4 percent.

Others named by respondents were Oprah Winfrey, at 7 percent, Lady Gaga at 6 percent and Lin-Manuel Miranda at 3 percent. Former first lady, Secretary of State and presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton tied with Melania Trump and Russian ruler Vladimir Putin at 4 percent.

Reality television personality Kim Kardashian polled at 1 percent.

The Salonniere’s Spring ’17 Party Poll, conducted in March by a national research firm, surveyed 1,203 men and women between 25 and 59 whose household income exceeds $75,000 annually.
