November 2, 2010

We show the results of our analysis concerning the media attention given to US States Governors' Elections of Nov 2, 2010. This analysis is made using media value approach and is applied to the politics sphere. Politics related analysis using media value measures are presented in our sister web page, Politics and Media Value.

Using this approach we observed a close relationship between media attention during the campaign by all relevant newspapers and actual voting results, applied to US Presidential Elections 2008 and to Spanish Legislative Elections 2008.

We have estimated media attention for all Governors' candidates to Nov 2, 2010 elections. We show below the results concerning US newspapers coverage. In each graph we show the relative media attention provided to each candidate. We include the latest polls available, normally from Rasmussen source.

These results have been computed and published by Nov 2, 2010 (1pm ET), before the announcement of the voting takes place. We will compare later on our results with actual voting results. In the Politics and Media Value we will show the analysis concerning media coverage given in each single US State and final voting, and also media coverage given by each one of top 100 US Newspapers by circulation.
