Obama Raises $150 Million in September

The Obama campaign announced early Sunday morning that it had raised $150 million in September, more than doubling the previous single-month record of $66 million, set by Obama in August.

Campaign manager David Plouffe made the announcement in a video message to supporters. He said the average donation in September was less than $100, slightly higher than the campaign average of $86. Plouffe said that students and retirees made up the two largest donor groups.
