NYC and LA combined account for about 4% of the US population. And they're both full of non-citizens, who are ineligible to vote. Maybe 2-3% of the electorate. But if you mean all metro areas, most people already live in them. And that's as true in the swing states as in the nation. There's no reason a popular vote method would change that. And TV ads get less important every year. It's all about targeted microdemographics that have very little to do with state boundaries.
