WG Economy: The Bumpy Ride To Reducing Inflation

WG Discussion Points

Positive Vs. Negative Ads in Competitive Senate Races

WG Discussion Points | David Winston

March 3, 2023

Democrats had a remarkable performance in 2022 competitive Senate races in
large part because of winning among independents. While candidate quality
was a factor that hurt Republicans, there may be more to Democrats'
suggests in a challenging political environment. Cook Political Report
editor Amy Walter has posed a theory in a recent tweet: "How were Sen[ate]
Dems able to avoid the drag of [an] unpopular President? One reason may be
that they massively outspent Republicans on positive political ads." Walter
Conducted an experiment using campaign ad tracking to categorize ads by
candidates wand allies as negative, positive, or contrast (which she
counted as negative). Races that she analyzed were Democratic Senate
incumbents in AZ, NV, NH, and GA. The chart compares total ad spending by
Senate campaigns, coordinated and outside groups on behalf of Senate
candidates. [3]WG Discussion Points, March 3, 2023
