Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Conventional wisdom holds that negative campaign messages decrease voter turnout and are more persuasive than positive messages. Academic evidence in favor of these two contentions has been mixed. However, prior studies may be limited by research design. Observational analyses capture real-world campaigns and behaviors, but cannot definitively rule out endogeneity as a source of potential bias. Laboratory experiments possess internal validity, but it is unclear the extent to which the results hold in broader real-world settings. Attempting to combine the strengths of both methodologies, we worked with two actual campaigns to conduct randomized experiments in the field. By randomly assigning subjects to be exposed to positive or negative campaign messages, we can estimate the effect of message tone on turnout and vote choice. In the end, we detect no difference between negative and positive messages with regards to turnout or vote preference.
