Want to see how Democrats’ reliance on hard-dollar campaign fundraising—versus depending on outside Super PACs—is giving their party a bigger bang for the buck over the advertising airwaves?

Well, check out these numbers from the 26 most-saturated House districts (in terms of total spots aired on broadcast TV) from Sept. 1-Oct. 25, according to Advertising Analytics: Democrats are airing, on average, 60 percent of the overall ads in each district, and they have the overall per-spot advantage in 22 of 26 districts.

But in terms of dollars spent – remember, campaigns get discounts in TV ads, while Super PACs and outside groups pay premium rates – Democrats are outspending Republicans, on average, 55 percent to 45 percent in these same 26 districts.

So a heavy Dem reliance on campaign fundraising/spending turns a 55/45 spending advantage into a 60/40 spot advantage.

(Note: The spots-versus-spending isn’t 100 percent apples to apples – the spots are for broadcast TV, while the spending is broadcast + cable + radio.)
