Bernie Sanders to make Georgia appearance
Vermont Senator and 2016 Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders knows his base isn’t in Georgia, (last week’s Opinion Savvy/IAG poll shows him down 27% to Hillary Clinton in the state), but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have supporters in the Peach State. This Friday, September 11th, the Sanders campaign will be hosting a fundraiser at 200 Peachtree before he swings north into South Carolina, a crucial early state where again his poll numbers don’t look great.
That’s not to say it’s all bad news though, for the self-avowed democratic socialist. Sanders has been drawing huge crowds across the country ever since he announced his candidacy, and his poll numbers in early states, are reflecting that energy. The Senator has drawn to within 11 points of front-runner Hillary Clinton in Iowa, and now leads the former First Lady by 9 points in close-to-home New Hampshire.
Sanders’ Georgia fundraiser again shows a marked difference between his campaign and those of Clinton or Bush. The donation to get into the event is only $50, a far cry from the $1,000 Bush has charged for recent fundraisers in Atlanta and even further from the $2,700 it cost to get into a Hillary event in town in May.
