Trump to focus ads on Pennsylvania, Ohio
CTV News ^ | October 7, 2016 | Julie Bykowicz and Chad Day, The Associated Press

Donald Trump is changing some of his advertising plans.

He's focusing more than ever on Pennsylvania and Ohio, a sign of the importance his campaign is placing on those two states.

The campaign plans to spend almost $1 million next week in Pennsylvania and $1.2 million there in each of the next three weeks, Kantar Media's political ad tracker shows. In Ohio, he'll spend more than $700,000 next week and about $1 million in each of the following three weeks...

I think the internal polling shows he has Florida and Wisconsin in the bag.

Good find. Yea, I’ve been wondering why he cancelled ads in Florida, NC, etc.

I know UPI Poll showed him up 5 in several battleground states.

He didn’t really cancel ads in Florida, NC, or other states. He canceled 160k worth of ads in small rural areas (locks) of a total 140 million buy. He’s refocusing that money less rural areas.

I haven’t seen much about NC recently. I would NEVER back out of Florida ... it is *the* swing state of swing states with Ohio a close #2 ... I don’t have a good feel for NC though ... I couldn’t tell you what to believe or not to believe :-).

OH..yes
PA..yes

I think he should definitely also keep campaigning and advertising in the other important states too like FL and NC and MI and people say he can win WI

he will also need a really good ground game with poll watchers etc.... to cut down on the turnouts by the D party machine’s illegal and deceased voting blocks

in short, Trump can WIN this election but I think he needs to super-spend for this last month to do it

to overcome the D party machine’s built-in advantages in key places like NV (vegas illegal voting) and PA (Philly illegal voting ballot box stuffing and deceased voters) and several more like that

he can win! let’s see if he/gop really want to win, let’s see if they really turn on the action now during this last month.....

PA is definitely Crooked Hillary’s firewall - OH and PA are often a two-fer.

All my friends in OH say she is toast there.

Good! Because a win in both these states would pretty much seal the deal.

No pun intended.

My sister heard on the radio a story that said Trump plans to cancel his ads here in Maine in order to spend the money in other states.

That’s because Trump is WAY ahead in Maine’s 2nd Congressional district, although Trump still plans a rally in Bangor, ME on Sat., October 15th.

military, and non richmond areas will go Trump, hopefully there are many of the black population who also see through hillary’s lies and want hope, and change for real, they did not get it from Obamma. We Need trump, we need jobs, we need tax reform, we need to reform the constitution to where the executive cannot control the doj, irs, etc, we need to stop illegal immigration, we need to pay the debt.
Many more we needs here..

Warms my heart, thanks for the input! I’ve been doing my best to shut out the noise of the national polls and focus on the important states,

I understand if you can’t betray any confidences, and I wouldn’t want you too, but please tell me if my thinking/calculations are correct..based on what you’ve said-

Romney states are safe = 206 EVs
Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin = 63 EVs

That would put Trump at 269 and he’d only need Maine CD2 (or any one state) to hit 270 and win. Is this correct?
