Gallup noted in the release that Trump's support among Republicans remains strong at 48 percent, with no other man gaining more than 2 percent of the party's support.
Meanwhile Democrats' support for Obama declined from 41 percent last year to 32 percent this year, as party members split their votes,, with 13 percent naming Biden and 5 percent picking Fauci as the most admired man.
Independents were evenly split between Trump and Obama at 11 percent, while 3 percent named Biden and 2 percent picked Fauci.
Gallup pointed out that the incumbent president has topped the list 60 times out of the 74 times that the open-ended poll has been conducted since 1946.
As for the most admired woman, Michele Obama once again topped this year's list. Overall, 10 percent of Americans named the former first lady, followed by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris with 6 percent and current First Lady Melania Trump with 4 percent.
