His campaign said it raised $6 million-plus in 24 hours earlier this week -- one of the largest single-day fundraising totals in U.S. election history -- but he remains low in the polls.

Paul says those polls might be mistaken and insists he has a wide following.

Much of Paul's money comes from individuals contributing smaller amounts, according to his campaign and records dating back to September filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Paul said Monday that his source of funding distinguished himself from other Republican presidential candidates because his cash did not come from "powerful special interests."
