Battleground ad spending in June: Team Hillary $26 million, Team Trump 0

[link to hotair.com]

If you include all ad time reserved in battleground states through Election Day, the advantage is … $140 million to zero.

I’ve been careful to note in poll posts lately that Trump’s numbers in the battleground states are more encouraging than his national polling (errrr, until today), which is good since national polls are ultimately meaningless. The not-so-small caveat is that, apart from the occasional rally or speech, he’s not competing in battleground states right now. Hillary has the field to herself. The glass-half-full spin on that is that it shows how much room Trump has to grow once his fundraising gets going and he starts buying airtime of his own. He’s within a few points despite barely having a functioning campaign! The glass-half-empty spin is that Team Clinton is seizing this opportunity to turn undecideds against Trump with no resistance apart from whatever free airtime his team can get from cable news networks.
