The public can expect to see a sharp increase in advertisements paid for by issue groups as the race for the White House continues, according to TNS Media Intelligence/Campaign Media Analysis Group.
According to the research group's newsletter, the CMAG Eye, the Service Employees International Union has already spent $3.2 million for ads on issues such as healthcare costs, prescription drugs and oil with a call for Obama to bring change. MoveOn.org spent $450,000 mostly on anti-McCain ads showing similarities between the Republican senator and President Bush. The liberal anti-war group also has dedicated advertising spending to pro-Obama commercials.
In an analysis of House and Senate Races this year, the research group found only 12 out of nearly 60 new ads did not say anything negative about a candidate.
