Over $28 million spent from September 28-October 4

majority of TV ad spending
MADISON, WI – Over the past week, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama
and their campaigns have spent over $28 million on television advertising. From September 28
through October 4, the Obama campaign spent just under $17.5 million while the McCain
campaign and the RNC spent just under $11 million combined. Compared to the first week of
September (September 6-13) the amount of campaign advertising has nearly doubled, going from
a total of $15.5 million to $28.3 million. During the similar week in 2004, the Bush and Kerry
campaigns and their party and interest group allies spent just over $18 million dollars.
As was the case during the first week of September, the Midwest battleground states of Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin received over half the money
spent by the two campaigns on television advertising. McCain spent a larger percentage of his
advertising budget in these Big 10 battleground states than did Obama (60.2 percent to 46.5
percent respectively). Ohio drew the greatest amount of advertising spending as the Obama
campaign spent $2,218,000 and the McCain campaign spent $1,727,000. The Obama campaign
also spent over $2 million each in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The McCain
campaign did not spend over $2 million in any individual state.

“Ten of the fifteen states where both candidates are advertising were won by Bush in the 2004
election,” said Ken Goldstein, professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of
the Wisconsin Advertising Project. “The campaign is being played on the Republican side of the
field this year.”
