Two days later, Sanders draws five times as many people as Clinton to event at same university in N.H.

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders drew an estimated 3,000 people to a boisterous rally here Sunday night at the University of New Hampshire, about five times as many people as Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton attracted to an event two days ago at the same campus.

Many of the audience members in the university’s fieldhouse were college students, a group Sanders said had a reputation for being apathetic. “It sounds to me like you are ready to transform America,” he said to loud applause.

When Clinton appeared on campus here two days earlier, about 600 people came to see her at a forum about college affordability.

While Clinton's event was open to the public, aides said that it was not meant to draw a rally-sized crowd and that Clinton was focused on holding a thoughtful discussion. Sanders’s event, which his campaign said drew more than 3,000 people, was held at a time more convenient for students.

Still, the large disparity in crowd sizes highlights an enthusiasm gap among younger voters in the early nominating states. Recent polls from Iowa and New Hampshire have shown Sanders with sizable leads over Clinton among voters younger than 30.

If he wins both contests, Sanders said, “that opens up the door to a path toward victory.”

1. That's just regular every day people that support Bernie though.

Whereas Hillary has the backing of establishment politicians, the 1%, AND the establishment media.
