interesting question. Maybe I am unknowingly spouting propoganda. Looked it up. Its true over 80% of the time, but I thought that number would be higher. Theres a chart midway down the page if you want a TLDR

I can see money having greater influence at lower levels of government. I'm thinking more about advertising and the presidential race.

ads probably matter least in the races where campaigns spend the most on them

This was my feeling. I bet the returns on traditional advertising are diminishing. Also Trump seems to generate a huge amount of publicity (good and bad) without spending much money.
