FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Supporters of Bernie Sanders gather on the streets of Fayetteville Saturday.

Dozens marched Dickson Street and ended with a rally on the Fayetteville Square.

Sanders was not in attendance, but guest speakers discussed their reasons for supporting Sanders and what he represents for local organizations and the people of Arkansas.

"We had a lot more people out here than I anticipated," student, Ronald Juzeler said. "When we were walking down Dickson, we would see people who would give us a thumbs up, and then they would hop in the march with us. There was a lot of excitement out here, and it feels really good."

"I think he'll do well, he may have a difficult time, but certainly in most states, the young population are strongly supportive of him. I think he'll win the youth vote," Sanders supporter, Abel Thomlinson said.

Supporters say the presidential candidate would have a better chance at the White House if he wins the nomination.

They believe Sanders matches up against Donald Trump better than Hillary Clinton in the general election.
