Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Media coverage, including advertising, tunes voters in to a political campaign and informs them about candidates and their positions. Positive and negative ads differ, however, in the quality and quantity of information they convey about candidates. While campaign managers advise candidates to "Go negative early, often, and right through election day, if necessary" (Kamber 1997, 46), scholars of political advertising have yet to reach a consensus regarding the effects of this advice on voters' attitudes, election outcomes, and the ultimate consequences for a democratic system. At best, research indicates that voters do not like negative ads but that the ads are effective to a degree. This paper extends the analysis of advertising and election outcomes by exploring the effects of timing, tone, and exposure to negative television advertising on short term deviations from state-level normal votes in U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races. This study furthers the current literature in two fashions; first, we examine the influence of attack advertising on actual election outcomes rather than intentions. Second, we theorize that negative advertising does not simply activate or deactivate potential voters but that it also encourages voters to think beyond the traditional categorization of party identification. While many justifications for deviations from the base vote have been advanced, these deviations may also be a result of campaign effects. If negative advertising encourages voters to "tune out" from one race, it may also "turn off" voters from specific candidates, regardless of party identification. Thus, we expect attack advertising to increase the deviation from normal votes.
