The Pew Research Center does some of the best bench-marking research in the country. The latest research, released today, says, in part: “… Still, a plurality (41%) says press coverage of Bush has been fair, while a substantial majority (61%) says the same about coverage of Obama. About one-in-four find coverage of both not critical enough.”

The entire report includes the breakdowns by party identification. Perhaps, needless to say, party affiliation does change the stats — a lot. But, the important work of the Pew research is in its ability to track the “big picture” or “real people” trends — and that tends to filter out the loudest voices on either end.
