Scholars seeking to examine the effect that campaign processes have on election outcomes have focused largely on the behavior of voters. In contrast, the behavior of candidates, particularly with respect to the information that candidates communicate to voters, has received limited attention. The dearth of this work in this area stems in part from a paucity of data that allows candidate behavior to be reliably & systematically measured. In this paper, I assess a data source that may be used to overcome this limitation: televised campaign advertisements. After discussing the strengths & weaknesses of these data, I offer a sample analysis using data collected from all available advertisements produced by candidates competing in US presidential campaigns, 1976-1996. Specifically, I examine the factors that influence these candidates' decisions to address concerns that are salient to the public in their campaign messages. 3 Tables, 1 Appendix, 40 References.

We argue that citizens distinguish the tone of a campaign from the quality of information that it provides and that evaluations on each dimension respond differently to positive and negative political advertising. We test these claims using survey and advertising data from the 2000 presidential campaign and two 1998 gubernatorial races. In each race, citizens separate judgments about the tone of a campaign from judgments about the quality of information they have received. Furthermore, negative campaigning affects the former, but not the latter, set of evaluations. These results have implications for the debate over the impact of negative advertising and for how citizens perceive campaigns as political processes.

A review of the evidence leaves no doubt election campaigns do matter in a variety of important ways. The serious questions concern when, where, why, how, for what, and for whom they matter. This essay reviews a selection of high-quality studies that address these questions, focusing on several distinct lines of research that have been particularly productive in recent years: on the effects of events and advertising in presidential elections; on the effects of campaign spending in elections for down-ballot offices; on the effects of mobilization campaigns on voting turnout; on campaign influences on the vote choice (with special attention to the effects of negative campaigns); and on the nature of persuadable voters. It also offers some suggestions of areas where additional research should be productive. Adapted from the source document.
