(Bloomberg) -- Republicans need to win six seats in the November election to take control of the US House of Representatives. In advertising spending, theyre beating Democrats in seven districts that were already leaning their way.
In just the two weeks since the Sept. 5 Labor Day holiday, the traditional kickoff for November campaigns, GOP candidates and committees have booked $33 million of ads in those races, compared to $24 million for Democrats, according to data from AdImpact, which tracks political spending. These districts, which were all redrawn to make them more solidly Republican, are rated lean or likely Republican by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.
And in most of the races that are toss-ups, Republicans are also out-muscling Democrats. Out of 31 toss-up contests, Republicans have committed more advertising dollars than Democrats in 18 of them, the data shows.
Although polls show Democrats broadly gaining ground, the spending disparity points to the difficulty of maintaining their majority in the House. They have more at-risk members than Republicans, who have plenty of money to target them.
