WIKILEAKS' founder Julian Assange is leading an online poll to be named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" - while an online bookmaker painted him as the equivalent of Saddam Hussein in betting terms.

      In a poll on Time's website, Assange had 298,975 votes - 76,207 ahead of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and more than 160,000 ahead of pop singer Lady Gaga, in second and third places.

      Other big names in the poll include IT figures Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg, who were trailing at 22,164 and 15,933 votes respectively.

      Being named "Person of the Year" doesn't necessarily make you a public hero - Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin have also been previous winners of the title.

      But online bookmaker YouWager.com is betting on Time playing it safe this year - saying the odds of Assange appearing on the prestigious cover are only 20 per cent.
