I did a bit of 'research' (aka looked at polls as well as the amount of fan fics by character on Fan Fiction.net)...
And it seems like it's actually a lot closer than people think. For example, there seem to be more votes for 9 Volt than Ashley on many of the polls, especially those on gaming forums. And on forums like Mario Kart Wii, NeoGAF, etc, Mona and Jimmy T and various others seem to be extremely popular as well.
As for fan fic... well, disturbingly, I saw quite a few fan fics labelled as shipping between 9 Volt and the author's avatar/original character... which is awkward given that the character is (presumably like Ashley and Kat and Ana) a pre teen kid).
So who is the most popular character? Cause based on various polls, the answer may surprise you:
