The Most Influential people are Lady Gaga and Erdogan.

So far, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heads Time Magazine's “2010 Person of the Year Poll” on Wednesday. He was followed by pop singer Lady Gaga.

In third place was Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, a website that releases secret documents. This year the site made international news when it published secret United States military files about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.At the beginning of the week Assange was in first place, followed by conservative U.S. talk show host Glenn Beck.

Erdogan's profile includes his reaction to the Mavi Marmara incident earlier this year, in which Turkish activists clashed with Israeli commandos while trying to break Israel's naval blockade on Hamas.

Erdogan condemned Israel and “refused to tiptoe diplomatically around the issue,” Time said.“Erdogan has shown that Turkey will no longer shy away from throwing its weight around in the volatile Middle East,” his profile stated.

Since taking office, Erdogan has increasingly cut ties with Israel while forging a stronger bond with Iran and Syria.

A total of 25 people are on the short list for Person of the Year.

 Among them are Chinese activist Liu Xiaobo, who won this year's Nobel Peace Prize, the miners who were trapped for months in Chile and released just weeks ago, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf of the controversial “ground zero mosque,” and American comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

The vote on which of the 25 is most influential is open to the public at the Time website.
