And in a big way, according to recent ad buys:
According to Kantar Media’s Campaign Media Analysis Group (CMAG), Republicans ran nearly 12,000 anti-Obamacare ads in Senate races during the week of October 13-19. That’s almost twice as many ads as they ran on jobs/unemployment, more than twice as many as they ran on international affairs, and more than three times as many as they ran on taxes. In fact, it’s more than they ran on jobs/unemployment, taxes, and social issues combined. It’s also more than they ran on jobs/unemployment and immigration combined.
The top-5 issues for the GOP in Senate races for the week of October 13-19 were as follows:
1. Obamacare (nearly 12,000 ads)
2. Budget/Government Spending (nearly 9,000 ads)
3. Energy/Environment (nearly 7,000 ads)
4. Jobs/Unemployment (more than 6,000 ads)
5. Immigration (nearly 5,000 ads)A week earlier, the pattern was basically the same—as Republicans ran over 11,000 anti-Obamacare ads.
And after all those assurances from the professional punditry that ♡bamaCare!!! was no longer a campaign issue…
