Trump canceling ads in key Midwest battlegrounds, moving money south
Foxnews ^ | 10/7/2020 | Paul Steinhauser

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.

They show a very low response rate to their polls, so I suspect more women answered, and they had to take whoever they got, which skewed the results by women +9 over men.

I didn’t ask for a research paper! Just a simple link.

Nice deflection, though.

Again, all speculation, on your part.

And, I’m sure Hannity and his two pollsters could do much better at a campaign, than Team Trump. You could join them! We better alert POTUS, stat!

No sale.

I’m telling you the facts, his campaign manager made those decisions.
Maybe they were good decisions.

...the winds he is sailing into.
___________________________________________

And has for 5 years.

Here’s a man whom the Ds once loved. He’s not really a party person, having registered with both majors and one minor (IIRC) over the years. But, he’s an American and he wears his heart on his sleeve.

He spent a lifetime in a rough business full of rough characters. He’s been up and down and held his own and has come back over and over from seeming defeat.

Opinions seem all over the map. ‘The campaign is a failure’. ‘The campaign is excellent.” ‘Biden is going to win because the propaganda is so strong.’

I have asked the pearl-clutchers on various threads: “What is your fall back plan if Biden wins?” since so many seem so discouraged while seeming to understand the alternative. No responses. Either they have no plan or they are posturing for effect. Many are reliably conservative posters here from the start. So, I am discounting a trolling effort. For the moment.

Some people enjoy being agitated and anxious? IDK. I do know that people with no access to internal polling quote a megilla of reasons for being discouraged and pessimistic, but when asked politely to explain their assertions, respond with some version of “I don’t owe you any explanation or justification and, BTW, you’re a fool.” (paraphrased)

So, I may just relegate them to my personal blocked folder & not bother with their posts until and unless I see or hear some actual evidence that an excellent campaign and an obviously beloved candidate is losing.

I’m not going to detail what it would take to convince me the election is lost to events because that would just solidify ideas I am sure have occurred to the opposition. For anti-Trump lurkers, anything they pull this close to November 3 will be too late to obviate all the already cast votes. I know they will do their worst, but I think they will fail, bigly.

Sure, excellent campaigns can fail. But, as I try to come up with an example of that, I can’t. Can you?

...Hillary outspent Trump 2 to 1 and Biden will outspend him 1.4 to 1, at most.

Also in WI: the expensive, slick, 4-color mailers for the down-ballot candidates that go straight to trash do not once mention party affiliation.

Do you have access to internal polls? Curious about that.

President Trump is approaching double digits in Ohio. He is up in Florida. Hispanics are breaking for Trump. He still needs to do rallies in some of the rust belt states.

Ads in AZ could also reach Vegas. Plus, McSally needs bigger POTUS coattails to pull off a win. GA, NC, and FL may benefit from additional ads, as the coattails may flip a few House races as well.

I'm not sure how Perdue or Loeffler are doing in their campaigns, but preventing surprises to hold the Senate is imperative.

Besides, POTUS campaign is spending millions in online ads, which can reach every state.

They don’t have a couple million dollars to advertise in both? What are they saving it for?

The polling is irrelevant. It’s going to be close enough and who knows what shenanigans are going on.

Yes he won in 2016, but it’s not like he won by 10 or 20 points.

No, you missed the context of my original question, which, btw, had nothing to do with Graham.

Georgia needs money because the democrats are spending extra money here in order to pick off a senate seat.

I think it’s a matter of return for your dollar.

Ever since 2016 and the Cankles ad debacle I’ve said that tv advertising/radio advertising is of very limited value. If it were otherwise, Cankles would have won.
