The Wesleyan Media Project has analyzed the data since the 2010 Supreme Court Citizens United decision.

According to USA Today, data analyzed by The Wesleyan Media Project indicate that, since the Citizens United decision, the majority of ads run by so-called Super PACs have been positive rather than negative. The Super PACs, unions, corporations and others were allowed by the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United to fund ads independent of specific candidates.
