DENVER â€" For every five commercials Mitt Romney and his allies ran here in this vital swing state in the last two weeks of September, President Obama and Democrats ran seven, accusing Mr. Romney of having a “tough luck†attitude toward the middle class and asserting that Mr. Obama has brought the economy back from the brink.
In Florida, the disparity was greater. The number of pro-Obama ads outnumbered pro-Romney ads by almost 50 percent â€" some 13,000 of them accusing Mr. Romney of outsourcing jobs to China, trying to gut Medicare and hiding his tax returns from the public.
The story was the same in most of most of the other battlegrounds. In Ohio and in Iowa, in Norfolk, Va., and on the Boston stations that feed New Hampshire, Mr. Obama out-advertised his rival after the parties’ nominating conventions, according to data compiled by the political advertising monitoring firm Kantar Media/CMAG.
Mr. Obama’s continued advantage on the airwaves, which counters Democratic predictions that he would be far outgunned by Mr. Romney and his allied “super PACS†by now, may help explain why polls in most of the competitive states have shifted in his direction over the last month.
On top of the problems Mr. Romney created for himself with his “47 percent†comments, Mr. Obama’s ad onslaught appears to have helped the president gain an advantage on issues like Medicare while eating into what had seemed be Mr. Romney’s advantage on the economy. It also drove home the image of Mr. Romney as out of touch with the middle class that Democrats spent all summer advancing.
While pressing his advantage on broadcast television, Mr. Obama has spent large amounts to put his message in front of women who watch soap operas and talk shows like “The View,†and in front of the young viewers who watch shows like “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.â€
And on cable, where Mr. Obama ran commercials unopposed for most of the year â€" and where even now he is regularly on twice the number of channels as Mr. Romney â€" he has put his commercials in front of the men who watch ESPN and the African-Americans who watch BET.
The dynamic in the political air wars has led to worry among Republican strategists outside the campaign that Mr. Romney’s team has simply been outmatched by Mr. Obama’s in its approach to advertising and the way it goes about buying ad time on television.
Unlike the Obama campaign, which uses a large outside time-buying firm with about two dozen people working on the account, the Romney campaign buys time with what is effectively an in-house operation that has at times seemed to rest on the shoulders of a single deputy, several people who have dealt with it say.
Mr. Romney’s aides dismissed the notion, saying that they have the people they need but that many of their advertising decisions were forced by a temporary lack of money.
It is unclear is how lasting Mr. Obama’s advantage will be. Mr. Romney’s campaign has bet heavily on the idea that it can sway voters in the closing weeks of the race. After holding back after its convention at the end of August, it is now planning much heavier spending after the first debate on Wednesday. Already, the campaign has been quietly increasing its ad spending, with a new $ 1 million advertising purchase in Iowa, a $ 2 million purchase in Nevada and several new reservations on cable.
“With the money that Governor Romney’s been able to raise â€" with Ryan raising it too â€" we’re able to get a more even footing with them in terms of ad buys, and that will help in the long term,†said Ed Gillespie, a senior adviser to Mr. Romney.
To further help, the conservative group American Crossroads said on Tuesday it would put an additional $ 11 million into ads in swing states in coming weeks.
But, members of both parties said, the question will be whether the late surge in Republican advertising will be enough to undo the damage to Mr. Romney’s standing from the early barrage of commercials from Mr. Obama and his supporting super PAC, Priorities USA Action.
Mr. Obama’s campaign believed all along that it was essential to try to define Mr. Romney early, in part because early voting means many voters will cast their ballots weeks before the campaign concludes.
“The cash advantage over the summer was huge â€" it had a huge impact for them,†Mr. Gillespie said of Mr. Obama’s team.
All told, from the moment Mr. Romney emerged as the likely Republican nominee in April through most of September, Mr. Obama ran nearly triple the number of commercials he did, according to Kantar, about 347,000, nearly 270,000 negative. Mr. Romney ran about 121,000, more than 99,000 of them negative.
Outside groups have gone a long way toward making up the difference. When those groups are taken into account, the Democrats ran 35,000 more commercials than Republicans.
The two exceptions for Mr. Romney have been North Carolina, the swing state where Mr. Romney has performed best, and Wisconsin, which several outside groups hope to turn in Mr. Romney’s favor.
Commercial counts are a better guide to the advertising war than sheer dollars. Democrats say that Republicans have spent more on advertisements than they have since April 1, $ 351 million to $ 303 million. But presidential campaigns can buy ads at lower rates than outside political groups can. The Obama campaign also saved money by reserving time far in advance, securing lower rates.
Still, not all ads have the same impact. A single Super Bowl ad can reach more people than dozens of late-night commercials.
But a look at the advertising purchases of the campaigns and the super PACS shows that Mr. Obama and the Democrats outstripping their opponents at various times of day, including in prime time, in various markets.
