C Flanigan—Getty Images by [Will Robinson / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Will Robinson / Entertainment Weekly Apr 21, 2016 11:36 AM UTC The United States has spoken about who it wants as its new President: #VoteTyrion. Yes, the mischievous _Game of Thrones_ character pulled ahead of current real-life front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in [a new poll conducted by Survey Monkey](https://www.surveymonkey.com/business/intelligence/americans-choose-tyrion-lannister-president-hillary-clinton-donald-trump/). Among candidates based in bona fide Western Civilization and Westeros alike, Tyrion Lannister raked in 24 percent of the vote from the 2,045 respondents, tied with Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. Clinton sits at 20 percent, while the Queen of the Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, won 14 percent of voters over. Trump rounded out the top five at seven percent. Tyrion’s support is truly bipartisan. While Sanders’ and Trump’s respective bases primarily lie with their party, liberals and conservatives make up an almost equal amount of the former Hand of the King’s constituents. Just because Tyrion and Dany garnered so much support doesn’t mean Americans pine for the good ol’ days of feudalism: 75 percent of 396 respondents think the U.S. does government better than the Seven Kingdoms. So not everything is terrible. _Game of Thrones_ returns Sunday at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
