and even for house members, if they have the time to actually do enough of it. All local offices, though, benefit from candidates actually doing their own canvassing. People who meet a candidate in person are far more likely to vote for the candidate they met.

However, for statewide offices and the presidency, door knocking by candidates has little effect. Too many doors and not enough time. It's a nice set of photos, but pretty much only the actual people who meet the candidate will be influenced.
