After two months of trailing the NRSC in fundraising, the DSCC stormed back with a big month, putting a lot of distance between them and the GOP in the cash-on-hand pile. Perhaps the best bit of news, though, is that thanks to a strong July, the DNC outraised the RNC in the third quarter - the first time that's happened in a quarter since 2Q 2004. So that you can see these numbers for yourself, below I'm also included a 3Q summary chart, with overall party totals at the bottom.
