Independent of the desirability of spending resources on Andrew Yang’s campaign, it’s worth mentioning that this overstates the gains to Steyer. Steyer is running ads with little competition (which makes ad effects stronger), but the reason there is little competition is because decay effects are large; voters will forget about the ads and see new messaging over time. Additionally, Morning Consult shows higher support than all other pollsters. The average for Steyer in early states is considerably less favorable.

Good to know.
Really?
Yes. People aren’t spending much money yet because people will mostly forget about it by the election.
