Obama believes he'd win another term in office if elections held today

Washington, July 31 (ANI): US President Barack Obama has expressed confidence of winning another term in office if the presidential elections were held today.

"If the election were held today, I think it would be close, but I think we'd win. And we now have 99 days left. If I can say that every day for the next 99 days, then we'll be able to embark on the next phase of this journey," Politico quoted Obama, as saying.

Obama acknowledged that there are plenty of "negative" and "contrast" ads coming from his campaign, but "when people start saying how terrible it is, I just have to remind them, take a look at what Jefferson and Adams had to say. Democracy's always been pretty rough and pretty messy."

He exuded confidence over running a good campaign and believes Americans would vote for him once again, just like they did in 2008.

"I'm confident that we are running a good campaign" and will continue to do so, but Democrats are "being outspent substantially," Obama told 60 donors, who gave 40,000 dollars each.

Though Obama said he doesn't anticipate being able to match them dollar-for-dollar, he declared that "we're going to have to continue to compete ... make sure that we can get our message out effectively." (ANI)
