Ted Cruz Dominates GOP Ad Spending in Super Tuesday States


Presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle have spent more than $23 million on TV advertising in the "Super Tuesday" states where voters are preparing to head to the polls, according to NBC ad-tracking partner SMG Delta. 

On the Republican side, Ted Cruz and his superPAC allies are outspending pro-Rubio efforts on the air in Super Tuesday states by almost a factor of 2-1.

Pro-Cruz forces have spent a total of about $6.2 million in mostly southern states, with the biggest dollar amounts in Georgia ($1.6m), Tennessee ($1.2m) and Cruz's home state of Texas (about $1m).

Rubio and his allies have doled out $3.5 million total, including about $960k in Texas and $690k in Virginia.

Pro-Trump forces have spent just about $1.1 million total in Super Tuesday states, with his biggest buy ($480k) in Texas.
