Campaigns Rely on Small Donors, Mostly

49%

Of Obama’s $46.3 million second-quarter take came in donations under $200, and 26% were maximum $2,500 donations, noted First Read. By comparison, however, just 6% of Romney’s were under $200, while a whopping 70% were the maximum. In other words, Romney appears to have already maxed out his base of donors. (Where is the rest going to come from?) The other small-dollar percentages of campaign contributions under $200: Bachmann 67%, Cain 58%, Paul 54%, Gingrich 46%, Santorum 25%, Pawlenty 11%.
