"It's difficult, it's not impossible," he said on CBS's "Face The Nation" on Sunday.
He he'll need to win 65 percent in the remaining contests to win the nomination.
"Now 65 percent is a pretty heavy climb, but these are states...that I think we're going to do very, very well in."
Sanders also said he thinks he can garner support from superdelegates in states where he has won the majority of the vote.
He also called on voters to look at who is the stronger candidate to beat Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in a general election.
"We appeal to not only the overwhelming majority of Democrats," he said.
"We appeal to independents as well."
He said he is "absolutely" still fighting to beat Clinton for the nomination.
"It's a tough fight," he acknowledged, but touted his campaign's ideas as the future of the Democratic party.
