Bernie Sanders has won TIME Magazine’s readers’ poll for Person of the Year.
As TIME reports: “Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has won the online readers’ poll for TIME Person of the Year, topping some of the world’s best-known politicians, activists and cultural figures as the most influential person of 2015 among those who voted.”
Sander easily won, receiving slightly more than 10 percent of the vote.
“That’s well ahead of Pakistani girls’ education activist Malala Yousafzai, who was in second place at 5.2%, and Pope Francis, TIME’s 2013 Person of the Year, who finished third with 3.7%,” TIME reported, adding that President Obama received 3.5 percent of the vote, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump only 1.8 percent and Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton coming in at 1.4 percent.
The editors for TIME will select the magazine’s Person of the Year, the person they determine who had the greatest impact on the news the past year, and will announce the winner on Wednesday’s edition of NBC’s “Today.”
