Pennsylvania voters are encountering a significant increase in negative political campaign advertisements across multiple platforms as Election Day approaches. The trend summary attributes the influx to a record-breaking surge in national advertising spending.
The information provided does not identify which platforms are carrying the ads, which candidates or campaigns are behind them, or how the advertisements characterize their targets. It also does not specify the amount of national spending, how that figure was measured, or the period used for comparison.
