Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen is seen by a third of international investors as the most likely to take the helm of the central bank when Ben S. Bernanke’s term ends in January.

The second-most probable choice is Bernanke himself, according to a quarterly poll of investors, analysts and traders who are Bloomberg subscribers -- even though the Fed chairman has said he feels no personal responsibility to remain for another term.
