Related: About this forumWho Gives Money to Bernie Sanders?
http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-na-pol-sanders-donors/
Californians contributed more than $36 million to Sanders campaign, the most money from any state in the nation, according to financial disclosure reports that cover fundraising through the end of April, the most recent available. Sanders has raised the majority of his money here in wealthy, coastal areas that are predominately white. Nine of the top 10 ZIP Codes with the highest rate of giving are north of San Jose, with concentrations in the Berkeley Hills and in scenic enclaves north of the Golden Gate Bridge.
In Los Angeles, Sanders received some of his strongest financial support per person from neighborhoods such as Topanga, Century City, Venice and the Hollywood Hills.
Adjusting for population, Sanders got the most donations from his home state of Vermont and Washington, D.C., where he has served in the Senate and House of Representatives for a quarter century. If the nine-county San Francisco Bay area were its own state, it would rank third on that list.

really interesting map accompanies this article
Went canvassing yesterday afternoon (my sixth canvass and nothing to brag about compared to other volunteers I encounter) in the San Fernando Valley. I always canvass with another volunteer, which seems to be the norm, from what I'm told. It was sweltering out and we forgot to take water. We had to ask two Bernie households for a glass of water.
We hit 39 houses; most people were not home (no car, mail not retrieved); of the 6 we spoke to, all were Bernie supporters!!!!!
Anecdotally speaking, there are lots of Bernie yard signs around, and new ones every day!!!! Same goes for car stickers!!!!!

course that would mean they are also well educated. Enough so that they realize the best way to keep doing well is to bring in a government that actually does something for the rest of us.
