Is there any statistics on the percentage of university students that vote for Bernie? I couldn't find anything on this subject on the web.

because Clinton won New York 57% ( 1,068,496 votes) over Obama 40% (751,019 votes) in 2008. In New York there are a lot of universities with about 700,000 students. About 550,000 students in NY City alone. If we can get half of them to vote for Bernie, we will have a chance to win big.

And it always gets down to who counts the votes. This time around the vote counters are for Clinton maybe Trump. But I would bet on Clinton. Bernie will spend time there as long as it doesn't detract from another state.

both of my sons were heretofore apolitical but are now Bernie supporters....If they're voting for Sanders there has to be lots, lots more.
