So, you're using stats to buttress your claim the Joe has not received more favorable coverage?

[LuFins Dad]

Funny, both articles are based on the same study.

Look at the breakdown. The right-leaning media were more negative towards Biden then the left-leaning media were towards Trump.

Mostly it’s the media with mixed audience that were more positive towards Biden than they were towards Trump.

Sure, overall Biden gets fewer negative coverages across all media. That’s because Biden appears a lot more reasonable after the Trump sh!tshow. It’s easy to get higher marks after the nation lived for years under Trump’s very low bar.

You actually believe that?

Going by Pew Research‘s data, sure.
If you have better data that might paint a different picture, please share. I am open to being convinced otherwise.

There's negative and then there's negative. There's no such thing as a broad cultural group-think hatred, culminating in millions of people feeling like a car alarm is going off in their heads, because that geriatric puppet is president. But the hysterical negative coverage of Trump led to genuine terror and hatred of the man. What's a negative story about Biden? That his tax plan sucks?

That his vp will get a promotion

Statistics. LOL

#1 President Trump received more votes than any previous president candidate

#2 Presdient Trump lost the popular vote by one of the highest margins ever

Both are true.

[Jolly]

I don't know where you get your stats, but your popular vote numbers are awful.

[taiwan_girl]

@jolly President Trump loss was in the top 20% in absolute numbers ever.

Not quite 4.5%.

[taiwan_girl]

@jolly Sorry, I was not very clear.

If you look at all the presidential elections, and the absolute number of votes difference between the winner and loser (not the % difference), the loss of President Trump in 2020 to President Biden was in top 20%. The biggest margin was President Nixon in 1968.

absolute number of votes difference

Is that really a valid measure, considering the population growth?

For example the absolute numbers of Adams v Jefferson are small; is that a valid comparison to say, Bush v Kerry?

Exactly. That is my point. Statistics can be made to say anything.

My previous comment was this:
#1 President Trump received more votes than any previous president candidate

#2 Presdient Trump lost the popular vote by one of the highest margins ever

Both sides use the same data to say how popular/unpopular President Trump was. Both statements are true, but also misleading.
