Paul Steinhauser has an early breakdown of general election ad spending:
Seventy percent of ads run by Democrats in the general election campaign for president have been positive in nature, while 73% of commercials run by Republicans were negative, according to data provided in a weekly note to their clients by Kantar Media/Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks political ad spending. … The spots counted in the CMAG data include ads by the campaigns, party committees and independent groups. The CMAG data also indicates that the Democrats have aired more ads than the Republicans. Fifty-six percent of commercials aired were from Democratic advertisers, mainly President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, while 44% were from Republican advertisers, mostly outside groups such as Crossroads GPS.
