President Obama is getting lots of positive press today. Earlier an NBC/WSJ poll shows him leading all GOP 2012 candidates in heads to heads, and also shows a higher percentage of Democrats favor his reelection than favored Bill Clinton at his highest point -- 73% to 67%. Obama Raises More Than $70 Million In Third Quarter For 2012 Campaign, Democratic Party
President Barack Obama's campaign raised more than $70 million combined for his re-election and the Democratic Party during the summer, an amount that gives him a clear financial advantage over his Republican rivals even as faces economic and political headwinds.
The fundraising total announced Thursday exceeds a goal set by the campaign of $55 million combined for the July-September fundraising period but is about $16 million less than Obama raised during the April-June quarter. ...
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in an e-mail to supporters that more than 600,000 people donated to the campaign in the most recent quarter, more than the previous three months. He said more than 980,000 people have given money to the campaign, and in the most recent quarter, 98 percent of the donors gave $250 or less, with an average donation of $56.
"Getting to a million grassroots donors isn't just a huge accomplishment this early in the campaign. It's our answer to our opponents, the press, and anyone who wants to know whether the president's supporters have his back," Messina said.
Whatever, we might think about our own leaders the GOP is substaintial worse on all dimensions.
Go Team Democrats!
