Negative campaigning

Negative campaigning is trying to win an election by attacking an opponent rather than emphasizing one's own positive attributes or policies. Negative campaigning is often viewed as being most common in American elections, but such tactics are also present in Canada, Europe and many other democracies. Negative tactics are more often used by challengers, but increasingly by incumbents.
