Many Say Coverage is Biased in Favor of Obama

Nearly four-in-ten (37%) say that in covering the Democratic race, news organizations have been biased toward Sen Barack Obama (D-IL) while just 8% say they have been biased toward Sen Hillary Clinton (D-NY); 40% say news organizations have shown no bias in their coverage. Substantial minorities of Republicans (45%) and independents (40%) say the press has been biased toward Obama; somewhat fewer Democrats (35%) see a pro-Obama bias. The weekly News Interest Index finds that Obama has clearly been the dominant figure in the campaign thus far, both in terms of press coverage and public visibility. Despite the widespread belief that the press has favored Obama, many of the events that have registered most strongly with the public centered on controversies involving either Obama himself or his campaign.
