"President Obama raised more money than challenger Mitt Romney in August for the first time in three months, a sign that the Republican spending advantage in the fall could be smaller than previously thought.
The president’s reelection campaign said Monday that, along with the Democratic National Committee, it raised $114 million in August, slightly besting the $112 million Romney raised in conjunction with the Republican National Committee.
Obama’s total is a significant increase over the $76 million he raised in July and comes just a week after his campaign announced it had raked in contributions from 3.2 million people, more than who supported his groundbreaking 2008 campaign. The end of the fundraising month coincided with a new program to accept donations via phone text messages. And it came at the same time as the Republican convention, a large media event that likely drove Obama supporters to their wallets.
