Democrats Outspending GOP in Key Senate Races

"SNIP.....


NBC News: “Less than five months until Election Day, Democrats are outspending Republicans over the TV and radio airwaves in the most competitive Senate contests, according to ad-spending data from Advertising Analytics.”

“The one exception, however, is in Florida, where Republicans and Rick Scott have outspent Democrats and incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., by nearly a 5-to-1 ratio, $17.2 million to $3.1 million. (But that’s down from the GOP’s nearly 50-to-1 advantage a month ago.)”

It's not apparent to me that Republican-aligned dark money/issue advocacy groups are included in this analysis. Furthermore, it may be that these groups are holding off until the right time to maximize impact (since they can't technically advocate FOR a candidate, their purpose is to go negative and depress Den turnout)
