Contributing to President Obama’s effort is Dan Zwirn, the current Managing Member of Zwirn Family Interests LLC. Zwirn recently donated to the Obama Victory Fund 2012 and has also supported Bill de Blasio for New York City Public Advocate.

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).
