President Obama told supporters at a campaign event in New York City Monday night that, if the election were held today, he would win.
“So the upshot is if the election were held today, I think it would be close, but I think we’d win,” Obama said.
Noting that there were 99 days left until the election, Obama added: “If I can say that every single day for the next 99 days, then we will be able to embark on the next phase of this journey.”
Obama made the remarks at a fundraising event at the NoMad Hotel in New York City.
He reminded the audience that the nation is recovering from “the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.”
“We have made progress — 4.5 million new jobs, half a million in manufacturing, the strongest since 1990,” Obama said, adding that the housing market “is just now starting to tick back up again.”
