[PRESIDENTIAL FACEBOOK ADS, 2019-2020 (AUGUST 17-23, 2020)]
Notable Quote of the Day ([link removed])
“A pandemic and presidential politics have made 2020 an unpredictable year in Florida, but there's one thing the Sunshine State can count on this fall: A record- breaking deluge of political ads is coming.
Florida, the battleground state likely to make or break President Donald Trump’s reelection chances, will be awash in television ads as part of a frantic effort to win the state’s 29 electoral votes. The $137 million spent so far in Florida tops second-place Pennsylvania, which has seen $101 million in ad spending, and already has surpassed the total of $133 million spent in Florida in 2016. …
The overwhelming majority of the ads are aimed primarily at the Orlando ($43 million) and Tampa ($40.2 million) media markets. Those two markets collectively include an 18-county region known as the I-4 Corridor. That critical slice of national political real estate is targeted each presidential election cycle because it is home to a large swath of swing voters. Headed into election day on 2016, for instance, the region had 1.5 million voters with no major party affiliation.”
