Ted Cruz 3rd 'most influential' world leader, behind pope, Obama
Time magazine named Pope Francis its “Person of the Year” last week, and nearly one-in-four Americans agrees with that pick.
Rasmussen Reports gave Americans a similar list of influential people worldwide, and 23% said Pope Francis was the most influential person in 2013. But the new national telephone survey finds that nearly as many (21%) felt President Obama was the most influential.
Eleven percent (11%) name Senator Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican who is one of the most prominent politicians aligned with the Tea Party movement. National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden is seen as the most influential by eight percent (8%).
