Related: About this forumDoes Bernie Sanders have a Jeb Bush problem?
A high-profile presidential candidate has seen a massive advertising blitz, yet his standing in the polls has barely budged.
No, it's not Republican Jeb Bush. Rather, its Bernie Sanders, whos stealthily revved his advertising machine and is now out-gunning Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton on television.
In December alone, the Sanders campaign aired about 7,650 TV ads, according to a Center for Public Integrity review of broadcast and national cable ad data provided by Kantar Media/CMAG.
Thats about one TV ad every six minutes.
The Sanders campaign had eschewed TV advertising altogether until late last year.
This December blitz also amounts to nearly one-third more ads than the Clinton campaign, which aired about 5,860 TV ads last month one every eight minutes.
The Sanders campaign is also, of late, pouring more cash into TV ads than Clinton.

After a while people just tune out or become annoyed. We had a Rep. Congresswoman run continuous ads on the classic rock radio station 10 per hour for months. I called the station to tell us when it will be over.

(10,110 posts)nervous because Bernie has closed the gap in Iowa and overtaken her in NH.
Only 28% of Democrats polled in Iowa fairly recently think Hillary is trustworthy. The rest don't. That's not Bernie's fault. That's not the GOP's fault either.
If you want to talk about stagnating in the face of heavy ad spending, the Clinton campaign hasn't put much of a dent in the untrustwortrhy issue, have they?

(2,925 posts)I do not believe that is possible,people think what they think. Too much stuff in her past,
not all her fault either,but it is there.

That's the goal of the Center for Public Integrity... apparently.

(850 posts)The author provides no sources for Bernies poll numbers "not budging"--that's because if he were to provide sources and data he would kill his own argument.
Pathetic.
