McCain's $22M June Is Best Month to Date

Posted Jul 10, 08 5:13 PM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – June was John McCain's best fundraising month yet, the AP reports, with the Republican bringing in $22 million; the perennially poorer candidate now has $27 million on hand. The Republican National Committee also had a good month, bringing in $26 million; the two camps together have $95 million in the bank.

McCain's campaign manager projected that between the $84 million the candidate will receive in public financing and funds the RNC will have, there will $210 million to spend after the convention ends Sept. 4. Meanwhile, a Pew poll shows McCain with half as many supporters (14% to Barack Obama's 28%) who felt “very strongly” about their choice.

One has Obama ahead by 8 points, the other 7, a substantial rise from the 4-point lead he held less than a month ago. The Wall Street crisis, President Bush's abysmal ratings, and voters' belief that Sarah Palin is unfit for the Oval Office have all contributed to Obama's boost, pollsters say.
