President Trump’s cutting back on campaign commercials in some of the key Midwestern battlegrounds that helped him win the White House four years ago – and shifting resources to a bunch of crucial swing states further south.
The president’s re-election campaign has dropped roughly $2 million in ad reservations in Michigan and Wisconsin since last month, according to Advertising Analytics , Medium Buying, and Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group , three leading ad tracking firms. Trump narrowly won the two states in 2016, breaking a quarter century long winning streak by Democrats.

And they are most likely to vote. Biden has been running ads nationally on the subchannels for a long time without any competing message from Trump. Biden dominates and completely controls the messaging on these channels.
But in recent years that has been changing with "cut the cord" and the rediscovery that TV is available for free over the air - antenna sales have been skyrocketing the last several years.
There was a shocking amount of Trump support by Marylanders driving by Walter Reed last weekend. I feel very hopeful, but then the psyops of the non stop media assault and now these polls is disheartening/ demoralizing.
I am in NC. I see a lot of negative anti-Biden ads here. Would love to see more Of the positive ads. The ones I have seen were great.
It’s a weird mystery.
“How in the heck do you know what the facts are”
I didn’t claim to know what the facts are. The poster I was replying to, did.
It’s either really bad news or really good news. Not in between.
Getting dark in here for sure. Let’s just support our guy. Get out and vote and see what happens. Poll response rates tell a much larger story. No one is answering unknown phone numbers or they are hanging up on these people. That throws sampling models out the window. Why’s Biden going to NV? That ain’t being on offense. Ads... anyone remember the spring of Michael Bloomberg and ads everywhere? He got his clock cleaned. He spent a ton of money and got zip. Trump does not look worried. Of course if he does lose, he still gets to keep his billions and sleep with a supermodel so there’s that I suppose...
Common sense and statements by the Trump campaign.
Nope.
I’m sane and realistic.
I keep track of these appearances and of the tweets and media appearances by him and his posse.
I was told by an insider in August that POTUS was 4 points up in WI. All the evaluations by our resident vote auditors has reinforced that: the spread has not changed in 8 weeks.
In many states that track by party, Rs are beating out Ds in mail-ins and not all Ds are Biden votes.
Does Biden have street organizers out in the black areas speaking with young men? No.
Is there a Walk-Away movement from the R party? No, if you discount the perfidious Never Trumper neo-cons.
Has the minority vote in FL shifted to the Left? No.
Has the D governor of any state come out in support of Trump? Yes: Puerto Rico, which influences the FL vote.
Is the R Senate candidate in MI showing a surge? Yes.
Is McSally close in AZ? Yes.
Is Collins closing in ME? Yes.
Do you follow Ravi,Speedy in Texas, or LS? If not go to their FReeper posts in forum and read their updates and analysis. Also bort.
Millions of doorknocks. 2M volunteers (Biden has to pay his workers). Seas of flags and signs. Organized flotillas, car cruises, overpass and corner flag waves. All for Trump. None or very few with no crowds for Biden.
Yeah, I think the Trump campaign is on the ball.
He’s sure not making any money on yard signs or bumper stickers here.
If you are going to be a defeatist wimp you need to get off FR and cry like a girl. You don’t belong here
The polling is not good. I’m praying, but it’s not looking favorable for Trump in many of the key states.
I could definitely see way more Biden Harris voters wantIng to talk to a pollster. The erudite self important busy bodies who want to let everyone know their opinion. My neighborhood is full of them.
Do you have a link to exact/specific statements by the campaign that prove/confirm your “from what I’ve seen of this new campaign team, the new campaign manager is trying to save money in an election that will be over in 3 weeks. He’s putting everything on the ground game” claim?
TIA.
Hillary outspent Trump 2 to 1.
I meant to say Trump won big in Ohio last time. Forgot to capitalize H. NC should be closer this year because of senate contest but who knows. WI may be better due to riots.
He’s sure not making any money on yard signs or bumper stickers here.”
FWIW Trump signs are everywhere around me (Mi).
Hillary outspent Trump like 5 to 1. It was insane. Biden might make it 10 to 1. All the forces of Satan are focused on one man. If we win despite all this Satan might curl up in a fetal position and die.
No I don’t have to produce a research paper for you. The new manager cut tv ad spending and went dark, which upset a whole load of republican candidates.
He was afraid of running out of money, and he wants to save the resources for their huge ground game. His big claim is that digital presence is more important than tv.
In 2016, the campaign stayed afloat with a lot of small contributions. He became concerned that would not happen this election.
If you listened to Hannity today, he and 2 republican polsters repeatedly talked about things the campaign needed to do “yesterday”.
There has been no effective messaging from the campaign or republican officials.
But maybe I made all that up.
