His funding remains strong.

The evidence suggests he's "berning" through cash like a sailor on leave:

WAPO- Bernie Sanders is burning through cash

By Matea Gold February 20 at 10:56 PM

Sen. Bernie Sanders drastically ramped up his campaign's spending in January as the Democratic primary contest engaged, racing through nearly $35 million as he worked to try to match the infrastructure that former secretary of state Hillary Clinton built over the course of last year.

As a result, even though he outraised her for the first time, Clinton expanded her cash lead by the end of the month. After spending $21.2 million in January, Clinton ended the month with nearly $33 million in the bank. Sanders had almost $14.7 million.

The more it becomes clear he can't win the more likely it becomes the donations will slow.
