Galen Dweer:报道指出,民主党在最后三周的参议院竞选广告支出比共和党多出约2900万美元。这引发了关于广告支出是否会影响选民偏好的讨论。 Nate Silver:人们往往夸大广告的影响力,尤其是在竞选后期,选民的信息接受度已经饱和。广告在竞选早期和下级选举中的影响更大。如果广告支出差异巨大,例如一方投入巨资而另一方几乎没有投入,则会产生显著影响。但广告支出与其他竞选活动支出相关联,难以区分其独立影响。 Nathaniel Rakich:目前尚不能确定广告支出对民调变化的影响,更可能受宏观趋势影响。民主党在各级选举中都拥有广告优势,但在州议会选举中,由于选区较小,电视广告效率较低。落后一方的竞选支出增加并不罕见,因为他们可能试图弥补其他方面的劣势。电视广告的影响力有限,民主党不应过度依赖广告支出来扭转选情。
