That remark stands in contrast to the comments made by Romney at a May fundraiser in Florida in which he was secretly recorded saying he'd never win over 47% of the electorate due to their "dependence upon government" and inability to take personal responsibility.
These comments came to light this week after liberal magazine Mother Jones released the tape.
The Romney campaign has sought to turn the controversy into a discussion on the government's role in society and the economy. But Romney had not directly backed away from the 47% figure until now.
The candidate went on to repeat the "100%" phrase several times during Wednesday's event.
"My campaign is about the 100% in America and I'm concerned about them," he said.
How long is his nose now?
