Sure, Bernie Sanders may have won the online poll for Person of the Year by Time.com’s readers’ poll by a margin of nearly 5%, earning 10.2% of the votes.

He even beat out some of the most influential people in world for the coveted title, including Pakistani girls’ education activist Malala Yousafzai, in second place at 5.2%, and Pope Francis, in third with 3.7%.

The only other U.S. politician in the top 5 was Barack Obama, with 3.5% of the online votes. Other 2016 candidates trailed behind, including Donald Trump at 1.8% and Hillary Clinton at 1.4%.

And yet, Time didn't include him as one of their eight finalists. Instead, they went with Donald Trump, Caitlyn Jenner, and ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi. The official "Person of the Year" will be revealed tomorrow morning, on the TODAY Show.

What do you think vigilant viewers? Think The Bern deserves a place as one of the eight finalists? Sound off below!
