ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: Though often regarded as a
longshot candidate for president, Republican Ron Paul tells ABC News
that he has an impressive $2.4 million in cash on hand after raising an
equal amount during the second quarter, putting him ahead of one-time
Republican frontrunner John McCain, who reported this week he has only
$2 million in the bank.

In an exclusive interview taped Friday and airing Sunday on "This Week,"
Paul said his campaign is on a better trajectory than McCain's.

"I think some of the candidates are on the down-slope, and we're on the
up-slope," said Paul.

Paul's cash on hand puts him in third place in the Republican field in
that important metric, although he is well behind leader Rudy Giuliani,
who has $18 million in the bank, and Mitt Romney, with $12 million.

Paul, who polls show with support in the low single digits, said his
surprisingly strong fundraising is the best measure of his support.

"I think people have underestimated the number of people in this country
who are interested in a freedom message," says the Republican
congressman from Texas, who has strong libertarian leanings.

To watch Paul's full interview, tune in to "This Week" on Sunday (check
