Pluralities Say Press is Fair to Romney, Obama

There is no public consensus when it comes to how the presidential candidates are being covered by the news media.

Nearly half (46%) say the coverage of Romney has been fair, while among those who see a bias as many say the press has been too easy on the GOP nominee (20%) as too tough on him (21%).

The same percentage (46%) says coverage of Obama has also been fair. However, nearly twice as many say press coverage of the president has been too easy (28%) than too tough (15%). [cont.]
