Donation Data

$200 or less: the small-donor bracket that saw unprecedented inolvement in the 2008 election cycle, according to a study by BYU’s Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy.

2/3 of Barack Obama’s donors made online contributions; 40 percent of those gave more than once.

18–29 age group: This cohort made up an unusually high 15 percent of Obama’s small donors.

56% of his small donations came from women—a statistic that departs from past trends of men being more likely to give.
