11. No. Compare that to 01/2008 when 90% was from small donors.

Democrat Barack Obama's campaign raised a record $36 million in January, overwhelmingly from small online donors, according to the New York Times. "The details of Mr. Obama’s January fund-raising illustrate just how much his campaign has been able to chart a new path for the presidential race. He brought in $28 million online, with 90 percent of those transactions coming from people who donated $100 or less, and 40 percent from donors who gave $25 or less, suggesting that these contributors could be tapped for more," the Times reported.
