Outside Spending in Election Focused on Key Senate Races
Original: Chart of the Week: Outside spending in the general election has been concentrated in key Senate races
OpenSecrets has published its Chart of the Week showing that outside spending in the general election has been concentrated in a small number of key Senate races. The data highlights how outside groups are directing their money toward contests most likely to determine control of the chamber, rather than spreading it across down-ballot and less competitive races nationwide.
Why now: Outside group spending patterns in Senate races are closely watched as an indicator of which contests will decide control of Congress.
