Something interesting happened for Hillary Clinton in the third quarter of fundraising: Her fundraising centers softened.
(snip)
That second quarter, when Clinton wrung a lot of money out of a lot of people, she pulled in a lot of money from Manhattan's wealthiest ZIP codes. In those ZIPs, roughly 10021 through 10028, Clinton raised $2 million from individuals in the second quarter. In the third quarter, she raised $725,000 -- a $1.3 million drop. (The densest area of circles below is Manhattan; you can also see the outline of Long Island to New York City's east.)
Notice how centralized her donations were in the second quarter compared to Sanders's. He got a lot more contributions from outlying ZIP codes.
(snip)
But you might also have noticed how much better Sanders is doing in the lucrative New York market. Across the country, Sanders dramatically expanded the number of places from which he generated contributions, more than doubling the number of ZIP codes from which he got money from 3,400 to 8,400.

(11,366 posts)I love how dark that map is getting in my area of Tennessee. I know I'm not alone (I only ever see Bernie and Carson stickers around here, FWIW), but I didn't realize it was that deep.
Kudos to my neighbors!

(5,204 posts)Hillary gets money from high priced fundraisers and bundlers in certain places. Makes since that Sanders has much more geographic spread. He can help turn some of those rural areas blue while keeping the urban areas blue.

(11,990 posts)The electroral map favors the Democratic candidate in the general no matter who it is. But if one of the candidates can capture more of the non-traditionally blue (i.e. rural) areas, we might pick up some more Dems in the House.
