Arizona having a lot of competitive races, there is an avalanche of television commercials.
The Republican commercials seem to be far more negative and far more vague. They make meaningless or unsubstantiated statements like "He wants to have illegal immigrants overrun the country" or "He wants to take away your freedom." And silly statements like "He voted for Biden's agenda 98% of the time" - well, sure, that's what politicians do, usually vote with their own party. There are people here like Kari Lake and Blake Masters who can't cite any political achievements because they haven't any.
The Democrat commercials are slightly more likely to have something positive, and overwhelmingly use direct quotes and actual footage agains Republican opponents, undercutting them with their own words.
And both sides keep attributing imaginary powers, in claiming they've done things single-handedly (like Mark Kelly implying that he single-handedly passed a bill) or will do things singlehandedly (like someone claiming they'll build the border wall).
Are you noticing any trends in your states?
Here in Arizona, all the Democrat ads are just attack ads about Republicans and don't even talk about anything the Democrats will do. Repub ads are more positive, address the issues, and are about the Repub candidate.
From what I have seen....Democrats talk about issues...Republicans talk trash about the Democrats.
Democrats are talking about issues because an election is coming up.
They ran on kitchen table stuff in 2018, too, and what did they do after the election? 100% laser focused on impeaching Trump. Don't expect the voters to fall for that again so soon.
Inflation, high gas price, crimes, etc are democrats issues because they are the one in power since 2020. You expect the dems to talk trash about the Republican when dems are the one in power?
If you tell the truth about a candidate ("He supported programs that caused inflation, let in millions of illegal aliens through our border, released muggers, rapists, and even murderers from jail without even posting bail etc.")....
Are you being negative? Or merely factual?
If the guy you're telling the truth about, doesn't like you for doing it, are you the one being negative? Or is he?

What a bunch of tripe.
1. You see what you want to see in political ads
2. There is NOTHING for the dems to be positive about
3. Just stating reality (high inflation, high crime, recession, falling wages, open borders, high energy prices, public schools in the toilet, corrupt Biden, weaponizing the FBI and DOJ against citizens, world on brink of war) is perceived as "being negative" by dems.
So...................................... just tell us all the "positives" about the dems over the last two years!

Actually, it's the opposite here in Florida. The democrats are all negative and outright lying while the republicans are the positive ones. The one where DeSantis wife tells her story about her husband being by her side while she fought her cancer is very touching.

Democrats usually refer to ads they hate, as "negative ads". Especially the ones that tell the truth about them. So of course they refer to ads from Republicans as "negative".
But as I asked earlier, are ads that tell the truth, really "negative"?
