Those in swing states--what's going on with ads for the Presidential race?

[Anonymous]

I'm in DC proper, hardly watch any scheduled television, and when I do, I see very few presidential race ads (since DC is reliably Democrat and is so inconsequential). For folks on DCUM who live in swing states, what is the political ad landscape like? Does it seem one candidate is spending more than the other? Are ada positive and in support of their candidate or are most ads attack ads?

I live in south central PA.
TV ads are numerous from all sides, back to back sometimes, positive and negative, but mostly fear mongering garbage.

In terms of lawn signs: There are 5 times as many Trump signs vs Harris. But that’s only a measure of those willing to advertise their political stance. Not all wish to have friction with their neighbors.

How long have you been in south central PA?

In 2016 the ratio of Trump to Clinton signs was closer to 100:1

My friend in Michigan sees lots of ads and lawn signs for both candidates. They’re not sure what will happen there.

Only 2 years.

Trump doesn’t have that novelty advantage.

Those that will vote for him do it because they believe Harris is not fit and/or Democrats are destroying the country with their policies.

I don’t see or hear as many fans of Trump this time around.

Massachusetts is not a swing state, but we are getting a large number of Kamala Harris commercials on Boston-area television and radio stations. I assume that these are intended for viewers and listeners in NH.

Well, you were not here last time around were you. We are also experiencing a huge influx of people like you coming from dem areas. Of course the irony is a bit too much to take.
