The campaign to re-elect President Barack Obama thought on Wednesday it raised $86 million from April to June, exceeding its $60 million quarterly goal and eclipsing Republican White House contenders.
Obama's 2012 campaign said it received donations from additional than 552,000 people, with what it called "more grassroots hold at this point in the process than any campaign in political history."
In keeping with Obama's 2008 winning strategy of tapping little donations, 98 percent of donations in the second quarter were $250 or less, by means of an average donation of around $69, campaign manager Jim Messina thought in a video to supporters.The figures confirm that Obama, a Democrat who raised a record $745 million in cash throughout 2008, has started the 2012 race as the cash leader despite doubts about the U.S. economy and criticism from some fellow Democrats that he has slanted to the right in U.S. debt talks.
