Campaign donations in the United States have proven to be as significant an indicator as polls, according to the international affairs analyst at CNN Lourival Sant’Anna.
In his analysis of the US presidential election process, Lourival Sant’Anna highlighted the relevance of this factor as a crucial thermometer for understanding political trends in the country.
The expert highlighted that Americans, known for their investment efficiency, direct a substantial portion of resources to television communication during campaigns.
It is estimated that total spending on this year’s campaigns, including races for president, governor, senator and federal deputies, could reach between 10 and 12 billion dollars.
Television: main means of electoral communication
Lourival emphasized that, despite the growing importance of digital media, open and closed television continues to be the main expense item in the communication of electoral campaigns in the United States.
This data reinforces the idea that, even in an era dominated by social media, traditional media still play a fundamental role in shaping public opinion during the election period.
The analysis also addressed political polarization in the US, a phenomenon that has intensified in recent years.
While campaign donations are an important indicator, the analyst stressed that it is necessary to consider multiple factors to fully understand the American electoral landscape, including opinion polls, debates and media coverage.
The emphasis on campaign donations as an electoral barometer in the United States offers a valuable perspective on the country’s complex political process.
