About this listen
Ever wondered if TV campaign ads genuinely sway elections? In this episode, we unpack a groundbreaking study by John Sides, Lynn Vavreck, and Christopher Warshaw on the real-world impact of televised political advertising across US elections from 2000 to 2018.
We explore how TV ads influence voting behavior, discovering they're especially powerful in down-ballot races compared to presidential elections. Are voters really persuaded, or do ads mainly drive partisan turnout? How do these dynamics shape election results across various offices?
