Clinton raises $45 million since April campaign launch
Democratic US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has raised more than $45 million in the first quarter of her 2016 White House bid.
“Still running the numbers—but here's what we know: In the first quarter of this campaign, supporters gave more than $45 million,” Clinton tweeted on Wednesday morning.
Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta claimed that more than 90 percent of all donations were in amounts of $100 or less.
He emphasized that this shows the Democratic front-runner's broad-based grassroots support.
“Thank you so much for being a part of this campaign. I’m grateful for all you’ve done and excited for what comes next,” Clinton wrote on her twitter account.
“While the road ahead is tough, you need the best people by your side. That’s why I’m thankful for you. With warm regards, Hillary.”
Clinton has amassed this money since she entered the race for the White House in April, a record fundraising for presidential candidates in any quarter.
Clinton’s effort breaks the previous record of $42 million established by President Barack Obama in 2011 during his reelection campaign.
Clinton has raised the record money despite the fact that most people in the United States now have an unfavorable view of Clinton and believe she is not honest and trustworthy, according to a poll on the 2016 race for the White House.
Clinton’s favorable ratings have dropped significantly across several key indicators since she launched her presidential campaign in April, according to a CNN/ORC poll released last month.
A growing number of Americans, or 57 percent, don’t have a favorable opinion about her and say she is not honest and trustworthy, the survey shows.
