TV Ads Haven’t Worked

TV Ads Haven’t Worked

"SNIP..............




First Read notes that “according to the normal rules of politics, millions of dollars in positive TV ads — especially before the airwaves get saturated — are supposed to help your poll numbers. But that hasn’t been the case for Jeb Bush. Per our SMG Delta data, Bush and his allies have spent a whopping $38 million in ads since September, more than the twice as much as the nearest competition. Yet Bush’s numbers have only declined — he’s at just 3% in the new CNN poll, and our December NBC/WSJ poll found 48% of Republican voters saying they COULDN’T see themselves supporting him (versus 32% who said this back in March).”

The media love affair with all things Trump have sure propped up his numbers.

And part of the problem is this Bush is pretty bad. He's like a worse sequel to a bad movie.
