President Obama raised $29.1 million in the first month of 2012 for his reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee, kicking off what is expected to be a record-setting fundraising year.

His campaign announced the haul in a tweet Friday morning, saying that 98% of the donations in January were in increments of $250 or less.

The larger the amount of the total and the lower the amount of the average donation is a true indicator of support.
