Other notable contributors to President Obama’s re-election campaign include individuals and employees of companies such as: Google Inc., Time Warner, General Electric, and the University of California.

In his 21-month campaign in 2008, Obama raised $750 million (ABC News). In that same race, Senator John McCain was able to raise only $238 million. With fundraising more competitive in 2012, President Obama has raised $300 million with nearly $98 million cash on hand. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney has raised nearly $154 million with roughly $23 million cash on hand (Opensecrets.org).

President Obama’s campaign has been spending money of late levying heavy television advertisements that aim to improve the image of President Obama’s policies towards businesses. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that if the election were held now, 49% of registered voters would vote for Obama while 43% for Romney (Bloomberg).
