GOP Fundraising Still Down

Via (subscription-only) Congressional Quarterly:

Using data for Aug. 31 in the election cycle’s off-year as a snapshot, the figures show that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) reported $20.5 million more in cash on hand than the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), which reported only $1.59 million in the bank. ...

On the Senate side, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) had $4 million more on hand than the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). The DSCC had raised $36 million, while the NRSC took in $20.5 million.

A look back shows how sharply the Republican fortunes have declined. On the identical date in 2005, the NRCC had $624,000 more on hand than the DCCC, while on the Senate side Republicans had a $950,000 advantage.
