Hillary Clinton may have a lead on Bernie Sanders in the polls, but when it comes to fourth-quarter fundraising, she might be lagging behind. For the first time ever in Clinton's run, Politico reports that her donors are saying they don't think she'll raise more money this quarter than the socialist Vermont senator.
"People are feeling very complacent — and more reluctant to contribute — because they don't take Bernie Sanders that seriously," a top Clinton donor told Politico. Clinton is still on track to raise roughly $100 million in total this year.
