President Obama said Thursday the odds that he will win reelection are higher than the odds of him being elected in the first place.

"Now, I know that, over the last couple of months, there have been Democrats who voiced concerns and nervousness about, well, in this kind of economy, isn’t this just —aren’t these just huge headwinds in terms of your reelection?," Obama said a a Democratic National Committee fundraiser in Washington D.C. Thursday night.

"And I just have to remind people that— here’s one thing I know for certain: The odds of me being reelected are much higher than the odds of me being elected in the first place."
