I dont' know how many new voters, but I know that Sanders has had an impact, though surely not just the man himself...he represents a groundswell of sentiment and is simply giving voice to it. When gillibrand and Booker say they aren't going to take pac money, that is at least, in my view progress. When 15 Senators sign onto a single-payer bill, that is at least 15 of our Senators signaling to the public that they support single payer. When Clinton advocates for free college in the GE, that is evidence that somebody is listening to these voters.
Jesus Gothmog...this kind of progress doesn't happen over night, and you, as the person "living in the real world" should be perfectly content to make that point yourself.
