U.S. Adults Say Leadership Is Not a Question of Gender

Nearly 25 percent of women think female leaders are generally better than men, according to a new study by YouGov. More than 1,600 people were polled for the survey, which was published December 16.

The finding comes after former President Barack Obama said women are "indisputably better" than men at a conference in Singapore on December 15. "Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us (men)," he said, according to BBC News. "I'm absolutely confident that for two years, if every nation on Earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything ... living standards and outcomes."
