I saw it mentioned in a piece I read about how donations to Biden's campaign eclipsed everyone else's. I don't pay attention except that campaign donations are a more accurate indicator than polls in getting an idea of who's ahead. I certainly am not losing sleep over Kennedy or Trump.

These represent the percentage of donors who gave the maximum amount individual donors can contribute ($6,600.00) to Junior's campaign. The total number of donors represented is 96, 19 of whom "have a history of consistently supporting Democratic candidates."
That's right, a whopping 19 people.
This is another galaxy far away from "20% of Democrats support Junior."
I'm sorry to harp on this, but if even those of us on the center/left insist on repeating numbers we heard somewhere and misrepresenting, however unintentionally, how much (or, in this case, how little) they mean, we only make the disinformation problem worse.

OK, that explains a lot. You are probably thinking of this chart from Popular Information: https://popular.info/p/gop-donors-fuel-rfk-jrs-presidential

Yes, that's where I saw it.
Jesus, we're all just commenters here. Where the heck do you think we should get our information if not from things we read?
