Tally Of Newspaper Endorsements: Obama Widens Lead to 194-82

After a busy weekend, the Obama-Biden ticket maintains its strong lead in the race for daily newspaper endorsements, by 194 to 82 better than 2-1 margin and an even wider spread in the circulation of those papers –see full tally below as of today. The circulation of the Obama-backing papers stands at over 20 million, compared with McCain’s over 6 million.

Obama’s lopsided margin, including most of the major papers that have decided so far, is in stark contrast to John Kerry barely edging George W. Bush in endorsements in 2004 by 213 to 205.
