3rd quarter fundraising megathread

[Mr. Morden]

This story says that Trump spent $5.6 million in Q3, but that seems to be much higher than what’s listed by other sources:

So what are the real #s for Trump?  Is the $5.6 million actually the $ spent by his campaign in Q2 and Q3 combined?

[Mr. Morden]

Do we have a good breakdown by size of donor? This is a good source through quarter 2.

This interactive table has some data by donor size.

As expected Carson and Sanders have lots of small donors, Bush and Clinton rely on bigger donors.

From that link, % of money raised from donors of $200 or less:

Sanders 77%
Trump 71%
Carson 60%
Huckabee 59%
Paul 51%
Fiorina 48%
Cruz 43%
Webb 42%
Walker 36%
Rubio 21%
Santorum 20%
Chafee 20%
Clinton 17%
Perry 17%
Jindal 13%
Kasich 12%
O’Malley 11%
Bush 7%
Graham 5%
Pataki 4%

Trump's actual FEC report sheds light on all of this. The $5.6M is the total to date, and Q3 is $4.2M.

Wait, so he spent $4.2 million this past quarter?  That's quite a bit higher than the $1.4 million given in the table you posted a few posts upthread.
