Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has analyzed the Q3 donation statistics for the GOP candidates.

I'm interested in seeing how many individual donors contributed to each of the candidates. Not how much they gave, but how many different people donated.

Anyone have that?

I'm guessing Ron Paul wins that count, but I don't know.

Likely only the campaign would have that information since those who contributed less than a certain amount are not listed in Open Secrets as I recall.

In Q3... ~7k $200+ donors. However, Paul has nearly an equal amount of cash collected from >$200 donors. Average donation amount for $250+ donors is ~$650.

The average donation amount was a tad under $62 for the BTO moneybomb. Using the power of fuzzy math, I'll magically reduce that average to $55 to account for the folks who donated >$200 on the BTO date. So, I'd guess... 4.1m/55=~75k small donors + 7k large donors = 82k donors total. (... +- 30k)
