The average contribution of Bernie Sanders' haul this month was $26.20. | Getty Sanders outraises Clinton for third month in a row

Bernie Sanders’ campaign raised more money than Hillary Clinton’s for the third month running, bringing in almost $46 million in March.

The haul came from 1.7 million contributions from more than 900,000 individual donors, the campaign announced Wednesday night. The average contribution was $26.20, and more than 96 percent came from donors who have not reached their legal limit and can give again.


The campaign said it finished the month with about $17.5 million cash on hand, a little more than it started with, after spending $45.7 million. The cash outflow was much more than Clinton's campaign, which spent $28.7 million, and was still more even when including the $11.6 million from Priorities USA, the super PAC supporting her.

While Sanders may have raked in more funds, Clinton ended up in a better cash position, with almost $29 million on hand.
