Bernie Sanders campaign announced an important fundraising milestone on Wednesday, bringing in more than $25 million in the last three monthsnearly as much as Hillary Clinton, who remains the odds-on-favorite to win the Democratic presidential nomination despite growing leads for Sanders in early-state polls. Perhaps more significant,
Sanders boasts almost twice as many individual contributors to his campaign as Barack Obama did at this point in 2007 on the way to his upset win against Clinton.
Its a reflection of strong grassroots support for Sanders, the Vermont Senator.
While Clinton is far ahead in overall fundraising,
her third-quarter financial advantage against Sanders is smaller than it was against Obama during the same period in 2007, as shown here.
And
Sanders has significantly outpaced Obama in total individual contributors, as shown here, based on statements from the campaigns themselves. (Clintons campaign hasnt said how many individual contributors she has.)
