According to a recent research,\u00a047 major US newspapers support Biden, 7 are behind\u00a0President Trump.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to research by\u00a0The American Presidency Project<\/a>, 47 major U.S. newspapers have thrown their support behind Joe Biden and they have a total circulation of 9.58 million, among them are the USA Today, The New York Times and The Chicago Tribune. President Trump has the support of just seven outlets and they have a total circulation of just under 863,000. The New York Post and Boston Herald are supporting Trump’s bid for\u00a0another four years in the White House.<\/p>\n

For years,\u00a0the influence of newspaper endorsements on voting behavior in presidential elections has been clear. According to Press Gazette<\/a>, in October 1980, after publishing\u00a0arguably one of the most significant endorsements for the Ronald Reagan campaign that read<\/a>: \u201cFor us, as for millions of voters, it is a close call and a difficult one, but with many misgivings, and more hope than certitude, we recommend the election of Ronald Reagan\u201d, the table was set for the future. Since then, especially through the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, support for Democratic and Republican candidates ahead of elections was divided almost equally between the nation\u2019s largest newspapers.\u00a0When it comes to presidential elections, the editorial boards of America\u2019s newspapers have been left-wing of the voting public since 1992 when Bill Clinton was presidential nominee for the Democrat. However, the popularity of Barack Obama in 2008 shook up the dynamic, with just three top-20 newspapers backing his Republican rival, John McCain. That year, the\u00a0Chicago Tribune endorsed a Democrat<\/a>\u00a0for the\u00a0first time in its 161-year history<\/a>, while the\u00a0Houston Chronicle<\/a>\u00a0also broke with its right-leaning tradition.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Obama lost the support of several newspapers that had previously backed him \u2013 including the\u00a0Houston Chronicle<\/a>,\u00a0New York Daily News<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Newsday<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 to Mitt Romney. However, the emergence of Donald Trump as the Republicans\u2019 2016 candidate made history by dissolving all support for the party among the nation\u2019s largest newspapers.<\/p>\n

From 1980 to 2016, the votes between Republicans and Democrats have been split roughly down the middle, with neither party claiming more than 60% of their combined vote. Ahead are the graphics.<\/p>\n
