Sanders sees 'path toward victory' after ‘Super Saturday’ wins
US Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sees a “path toward victory” after winning in Nebraska and Kansas, saying his campaign is gaining momentum.
Sanders scored the crucial victories on Saturday as he tries to narrow the gap with the overall front-runner Hillary Clinton, who won in Louisiana.
In an interview with ABC News on Sunday, Sanders said his campaign was happy about the states he won on “Super Saturday”.
"I think geographically, we are looking good. I think we have a path toward victory," he stated.
The Vermont senator pointed out the higher voter turnout in Kansas, where he defeated Clinton 68 percent to 32 percent.
"In Kansas, they had the largest voter turnout in their caucus history. That was the case in Colorado, where we won as well," he said.
"In every primary and caucus that we have won, we have won by double digit numbers and we're winning all across the country," he added.
In a separate interview with CNN on Sunday, Sanders said his campaign is gaining momentum, particularly with younger voters.
"We are doing better and better with younger people, whether they're black, Latino or white," he said.
"Our numbers are getting better and better. In general, our numbers are getting better," he pointed out.
Sanders also said that in a general election matchup, his chances of beating Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump are better than her rival, Clinton.
"If Democrats want the strongest candidate to defeat Trump, I think you're looking at him," Sanders said.
According to a recent poll, Clinton and Sanders would both triumph against Trump in a hypothetical general election matchup.
According to the CNN/ORC survey released last week, Clinton leads Trump in a matchup, with 52 to 44 percent.
Pollsters found that Sanders would beat Trump, by a 55-to-43-percent margin.
The poll showed Trump has closed the gap with Sanders while Clinton has made gains against the New York billionaire.
In September of last year, both Trump and Clinton were tied with 48 percent apiece in the CNN/ORC poll.
Sanders, however, has lost ground to Trump since July last year, when he would have won by a 59-to-38-percent margin.
