TIME Magazine reports:
With eleven days left to go before TIME's 2015 Person of the Year poll[1] come to a close, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the upstart candidate for president, holds a wide lead over global notables among TIME readers even as he trails Hillary Clinton in voter polls and fights a long-shot battle for the Democratic nomination.
The self-described "democratic socialist" currently leads Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning activist, with 11% in the TIME reader poll compared with her 5%. Sanders also leads Pope Francis and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Barack Obama and is far ahead of entertainers like Adele (2%) and Jennifer Lawrence (1.7%).
[...] Hillary Clinton has earned 1.3 % of the vote.
[...] Sanders is also beating Donald Trump in the reader poll.
[...] Voting on the reader's choice poll ends Dec. 4 at 11:59 p.m. and the winner will be announced Dec 7.

While TIME says that Hillary's popularity in national voter polls is still higher than Bernie's, they fail to mention that Hillary's numbers are slipping while Bernie's numbers continue to climb.

If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
The problem with the old site's warning from over 15 years ago was it assumed people were generally sane.
They were wrong.

They were wrong.
Or perhaps they were right, in the way the ancients often are, and it is our interpretation that screws the pooch. Maybe it was not a warning, maybe it was a prediction. And lo, even this has come to pass!
