The campaign in NY

I'm in NY and have been paying attention to the campaign. Here is a quick summary of what I see:

I've seen several Sanders ads on TV over the last two weeks or so. Only seen one Hillary ad. It featured Trump. I don't watch tons of live TV, but the disparity is obvious.
I was stuck in a car yesterday with CBS News radio on. I heard many Bernie ads. There was one during most breaks. Also heard a bunch of negative ads for a state senate race. No Hillary ads.
I heard a Sanders ad featuring Spike Lee on Hot 97 a few days ago.
I've seen at least a few Bernie bumper stickers/magnets around NYC. Two stood out. One was on a mini-van, the other on a BMW. No Hillary stickers. I've seen Obama and some other random ones including a "CARLY" sticker yesterday.
I've heard from at least a couple unexpected Dems that they were at least sympathetic to Bernie.

What does it all mean? Could be nothing, but Bernie has spent considerable money in this expensive region. I'm seeing signs of enthusiasm from outside the normal Sanders mold.

But I just saw my first Bernie ad today. I have no idea what it means...
