Money spent on ads vs polls

[The Free North]

Trump not only has the most money but he has spent the least and gotten the most out of it.

[Likely Voter]

While Trump has certainly benefited greatly from free 'earned' media, the money spent by Bush and others hasn't been wasted. The chart is misleading because almost all that money was spent in the early states, especially NH where Bush, Christie and Kasich are all outperforming their national numbers. Still trailing Trump of course. Also their favorables are better in the early states and that is the first step.
