Source: National Journal
On the eve of the election, President Obama has won the race for major newspaper endorsements, though by a narrower margin than he did in 2008. Of the 100 biggest newspapers in the country, 41 have endorsed Obama and 35 have endorsed Mitt Romney, according to data compiled by the American Presidency Project at University of California (Santa Barbara).
In 2008, 65 of the top 100 newspapers endorsed Obama and 25 endorsed Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
This year, the combined circulation of the 41 papers endorsing Obama is 10,015,000, compared with 16,100,000 for the papers endorsing him in 2008. The combined circulation of the papers endorsing Romney is 6,476,000, compared with a total circulation of 5,194,000 for the papers endorsing McCain in 2008.
