Well, yes and no.
If an ad is extremely offensive towards another candidate, I often vote for that person because I feel defensive and think that they were smeared unfairly.

If you watch any kind of news or television for that matter how can you not see/hear them?
I just figure the dirtier the ad, the more untruthful. What ever happened to that thing called a platform? We only hear what people are against, and most of the time it's the person they are running against.
Rock em' Sock em' politics. More of the same crap.

I find that I go into the zone of can't hear of see the ad. By this time in the process it all becomes very blah blah blah for me.
Tired of it all and can't wait for the whole thing to end.

I don't look at any of the ads.
Positve or negative they are bullshit.
Only way to really know a candidate is to read about them and find out what they actually do, not what they say they do.

Nope. They only give half truths and less than half the story. Most of the time the entire truth negates the half truth of the political ad.

No. Those ads are for people who do not take the time to research the candidates themselves.

I generally assume their claims are false or misleading, because often they are when I have followed up on them. I generally think badly of the party or person running negative adds.
