NEW YORK– Democratic
presidential candidate Bernie Sanders
has won the Time 100 reader poll, coming in 24 spots ahead of his rival, Hillary Clinton.

But perhaps the biggest
story comes from Dr. Mona Hanna Attisha being included on the list. The
Iraqi-American Flint doctor, whose research revealed led poisoning among
children, came in at #20.

The poll
asked readers who should appear on the magazine’s annual list of most
influential people in the world.

The Time 100, a separate
list chosen by the magazine’s editor will be announced April 21.

It is composed of world
leaders, great minds in science and technology, outstanding figures in arts,
and other icons.

Sanders finished with 3.3
percent of the total votes when the poll closed at midnight Thursday, edging
out the South Korean boy band Big Bang’s 2.9 percent, Burmese leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s 2.2
percent and President Barack Obama’s
2 percent. Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Michelle Obama, Pope Francis and Leonardo DiCaprio round
out the top 10.

Clinton, who was on last year’s Time 100 list,
finished the reader poll with 1 percent of the votes. The only other
presidential contender for 2016 on the 2015 list among 31 leaders was former
candidate Jeb Bush.

No Republicans were among
the top finishers in the reader poll.

Sanders led the reader poll
from the start in March. The magazine did not reveal how many people voted in
the poll.
