Study by Import.io analyzed 49,682 news stories from the web sites of 1,571 U.S.-based, English-language news organizations. The data set represents coverage through September 1st through October 7th that mentions Trump, Biden, or Trump and Biden. If you factor in stories that mentioned both candidates, Trump still gets x2 the amount of coverage. Neither candidate has greatly positive coverage but Trump’s coverage is more negative and swings more wildly around key events. The media sentiment towards both candidates took a negative turn immediately following the first Presidential debate.
