数据来源:AdImpact;图表:Erin Davis/Axios根据Axios对AdImpact广播广告数据的分析,本周期参选的共和党人在竞选广告中几乎完全不再提及特朗普总统。
Data: AdImpact; Chart: Erin Davis/Axios Republicans on the ballot this cycle have all but stopped mentioning President Trump in their campaign ads according to an Axios analysis of broadcast advertising data from AdImpact.
重要性:特朗普试图将2026年中期选举变成对他总统任期的公投。他的政党却背道而驰。
Why it matters: Trump has tried to make the 2026 midterms a referendum on his presidency. His party has run the other way.
大局:参议院、众议院和州长竞选中,两党的广告已从初选期间高度聚焦特朗普,转向在大选中更加重视经济议题。
The big picture: Ads from both parties in Senate, House and gubernatorial races have shifted from a heavy focus on Trump during the primaries to a much greater emphasis on the economy in the general election.
- 两党在医疗保健议题上也大幅加大投入,其中众议院共和党人的增长尤为明显。
• Both parties have also leaned much more heavily into health care, with a noticeable increase among House Republicans.
数据说明:共和党人的下降幅度最大,尤其是在众议院竞选中。
By the numbers: The drop-off is steepest among Republicans, and especially in House races.
- 特朗普出现在66%的众议院共和党初选广告中,但在其大选广告中仅出现3%。
• Trump appeared in 66% of House Republicans' primary ads but shows up in just 3% of their general election ads.
- 在参议院竞选中,提及特朗普的共和党广告比例从77%降至22%。
• In Senate races, Republican ads mentioning him fell from 77% to 22%.
- 州长竞选出现相同转变:提及特朗普的共和党广告下降了34个百分点。
• Governor's races saw the same shift: Republican ads mentioning Trump fell 34 percentage points.
民主党也减少了对特朗普的提及,但幅度没那么大。
Democrats have also pulled back from Trump, though less dramatically.
- 特朗普出现在45%的民主党初选广告中,但在其大选广告中仅占18%。
• Trump appeared in 45% of Democratic primary ads, but just 18% of their general election ads.
深度观察:与初选期间相比,共和党候选人提及特朗普标志性议题的频率降低。
Zoom in: Republican candidates are mentioning some of Trump's signature issues less than during the primaries.
- 在参议院竞选中,提及移民的共和党广告占比下降20个百分点;在众议院竞选中下降14个百分点。
• The share of Republican ads mentioning immigration has dropped 20 percentage points in Senate races and 14 points in House races.
- 提及执法的共和党参议院广告从初选的11%降至大选的6%,尽管其提及犯罪的频率有所增加。
• Ads referencing law enforcement fell from 11% of Republican Senate primary ads to 6% in the general election, even as their mentions of crime increased.
言外之意:候选人通常在初选中借助国内最知名政治人物的影响力,随后在大选中转向政策议题。
Between the lines: Candidates often lean on the country's most prominent political figure in primaries, then pivot to policy issues in the general election.
- 但考虑到特朗普极力将自己与中期选举绑定,今年的这种下降幅度格外引人注目。
• But this year's drop-off stands out given how hard Trump has pushed to tie himself to the midterms.
- 他敦促选民假装他在选票上,并实质上要求在9月共和党中期选举大会期间播出的广告以他为主角。
• He has urged voters to pretend he's on the ballot and essentially demanded ads running during the Republican midterm convention in September feature him.
值得注意的是:在本分析中,初选广告是指在某场竞选的初选前播出的广播广告。大选广告是指在初选与10月26日之间播出的广告。
Of note: In this analysis, primary ads are broadcast ads that aired before a race's primary. General election ads aired between the primary and Oct. 26.
- 截至选举日的广告趋势可能更加明显。
• The trends may be even more pronounced in ads running through Election Day.
核心看点: Axios报道称,大多数共和党人因畏惧而不敢告诉特朗普他有多不受欢迎,但他们的广告收据不会撒谎。
The bottom line: Most Republicans have been too scared to tell Trump how unpopular he is, Axios reported But their ad receipts don't lie.
