How Political Ads are Shaping the 2024 Election in Swing States

by | Oct 24, 2024 | political

With roughly two weeks left before the November 5th election, both the Harris-Walz and Trump-Vance campaigns are focusing their efforts on eight swing states, including Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. In these states, the election could be won or lost by narrow margins for either candidate, making political ads more important than ever for informing and influencing swing state voters. In the last days of this election, quality political voiceover is the key to success. 

In the battleground states, political ad campaigns on TV or radio allow presidential candidates to share their platforms and address local voters’ concerns on issues like the economy, taxes, healthcare, and immigration. Further, both positive ads and negative attack ads are being used to shape voter perception in key swing states across the country. As both presidential campaigns aim to sway the opinions of undecided voters in these states, ads with unforgettable political voiceover can make the difference between victory or defeat. 

In these states, it’s important that political messaging speaks to diverse voter groups. These states often have a mix of urban, suburban, and rural populations with differing politics that can shift based on factors like the economy and candidate appeal. Unlike more predictable ‘red’ or ‘blue’ states, these swing states have the potential to switch between parties from one election to the next. So, political ads that represent the diversity within these states are needed to impact more undecided voters.

For this reason, the cost of political ad spending during this election cycle has hit record levels, as campaign committees, political action committees (PACs), super PACs, party committees, and independent supporting groups report collective spending in the billions. In the eight swing states alone, over $1 billion has been spent on Presidential campaign ads on local TV stations. Potential voters are being bombarded with political messaging, so it’s important to craft impactful political ads that really stand out. We can help you do just that!
