The fact that you asked us to guess told me that it wasn't the usual
suspects. So I guessed correctly.
TIME polls are not necessarily anything close to reliable, however.

I remember when they were conducting a "person of the century" poll.
Suddenly, my Indian friends were flooding me with pleas asking me to vote
for Gandhi because he was way down on the list (below Hitler - shudder!).
This became almost virus-like and sure enough, Gandhi soon picked up the pace.
