Question

A graph titled Funding for House Elections 2011 to 2012 shows parties on the horizontal axis and dollars (hundreds of millions) on the vertical axis. Approximately 610 of Republican funding was total raised, 200 was P A C funding, and 350 was individual funding. Approximately 490 of Democratic funding was total raised, 165 was P A C funding, and 290 was individual funding.
Look at this graph, showing funding for campaigns for election to the House of Representatives, 2011–2012.

What is the most logical conclusion that can be drawn from this graph?

Both parties are dependent on raising huge sums of money to fund their House campaigns.
PAC spending is not a significant factor when it comes to raising money for House campaigns.
The Democrats will always raise more money for House campaigns from individuals than the Republicans will.
Campaign funding laws have reduced the amount of money needed to fund House campaigns.

Answer 1

Answer: Both parties are dependent on raising huge sums of money to fund their House campaigns.

Explanation:

Campaigning for office is no cheap endeavour as many politicians have seen and noted. Money needs to be spent on everything from renting venues to buying stationary and so the politicians turn to donors to help.

Regardless of party affiliation, this is the reality for political campaigns which is why both parties rely on huge sums of money to fund campaigns like for the U.S. House of Reps. This is confirmed by the graph described above that shows the hundreds of millions of dollars being used to campaign for the House.
