WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama's campaign set a new monthly fundraising record for the 2012 election, bringing in more than $150 million in September.

The September total far surpasses the $114 million raised in August, which is also the previous record high, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The Obama campaign Thursday declined to comment on its September fundraising totals.

The Romney campaign hasn't yet released its September numbers, but it raised $111 million in August.
