Southbury: Top Republican Presidential Campaign Contributors

Connecticut voters will take to the polls on April 26 to cast their ballots for the presidential nomination in each party, and if campaign contributions are any indication of appeal, it looks like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio is on the upswing.

But the top recipient of money in Connecticut on the Republican side is a candidate who recently just dropped out, Jeb Bush, who has received $1.09 million. And the frontrunner, Donald Trump is essentially at the bottom of the pack when it comes to receiving campaign contributions.

Here’s how much the other Republican candidates have taken in from Connecticut residents:

• Florida Sen. Marco Rubio — $456,226
• N.J. Gov. Chris Christie -- $236,250
• Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — $172,513
• Ben Carson -- $143,317
• Ohio Gov. John Kasich — $95,530
• Donald Trump — $16,899

National contribution numbers tell a different story, with Carson leading the way, followed by Cruz, Rubio, Trump and Kasich.

Those numbers, though, are a bit misleading.

While the campaigns have raised plenty of money through individual contributions, Super PACs have poured tons of money to support campaigns as well.

Outside groups have raised $46,726,605 for Cruz, $13,807,549 for Carson, $34,313,903 for Rubio, $6,729,311 for Kasich and $1,894,509 for Trump, according to OpenSecrets.
