Americans Say Attack Ads on Epstein Are Fair Game

“Americans aren’t big fans of attack ads — unless they’re about Jeffrey Epstein,” according to a new Politico Poll.

“A majority of Democratic midterm voters (55%) say ads linking candidates to the late convicted sex offender are fair game, and 35% say it would make them think less of the candidate being attacked… Republican midterm voters are more divided, with 47% saying it’s fair game and 35% that it crosses a line.”

“Democratic campaigns are taking notice. Democrats have sunk $36 million into Epstein-related ads this cycle, essentially making the scandal shorthand for their messaging on corruption.”
