My take on the Sanders Surge : he has huge support from the young vote, and clearly has been getting less attention than Clinton ... Others view him as a phenomenon that would never gain enough support to actually win so they throw their support behind Clinton as a "sure bet"
But as Sanders continues to climb with no help from the media, lots of Clinton supporters are jumping ship because they believe Sanders now can indeed win.... They don't want to "waste" their vote so until Sanders is proven, their support stays with Clinton...
That being said look for more and more to jump behind Sanders as he becomes a truly viable candidate and alternative to Clinton.. His supporters are less likely to back Clinton as most are very progressive and young . If Clinton is the nominee, they may not back her and show up to vote..
Alternatively the Clinton supporters who jump ship will turn out to vote for Sanders come Election Day because their demographics vote more in general.
