[I’ve seen a bunch here in NC for Steyer - just a few for Bloomberg.]
On ads overall, Steyer has spent $80m to Bloomberg’s $120m. Steyer’s at 1.5% nationally, whereas Bloomberg’s at 5%. Bloomberg’s advantage is that he has won 3 mayoral campaigns in the most expensive media market in the country against entrenched Democratic opposition. He knows how to run against Democrats. His problem is that in the past, he could take about 1/3 of the NYC electorate that were Republican-leaning for granted. Now, in the primary, he’s running for the support of a huge slice of the Democratic electorate that would have voted against him in NYC. So he has to go well to the left of his NYC mayoral runs, even though that would still leave him well to the right of his Democratic presidential rivals.
