Former US President Ronald Reagan has been voted the "greatest American" of all time by his fellow citizens.

　　Mr Reagan, who died last year aged 93, topped a list of 10 contenders, which featured six former presidents.

　　He edged out Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King.

　　Some of the most notable names of US history such as Albert Einstein and Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon, did not make the top 10.
