Obama’s fundraising tally shows downturn

The Washington Post reports:

President Obama’s campaign raised far less money in January than it did during the same month four years ago, suggesting that it may have an increasingly difficult time matching his record-shattering financial numbers from 2008.

Obama raised $29.1 million in January for his reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to disclosures filed Friday.

That number is notably lower than the $36.8 million he raised for his primary campaign in January 2008, even without any help from the national party. Obama’s campaign itself raised $11.8 million last month, disclosures show.

Just a reminder.
