Presidential Race Starting Earlier Than Ever

“The 2016 presidential race has received more attention earlier than any
other in recent memory, quickening a tendency that began some 30 years
ago,” National Journal reports.

“To make sure this wasn’t a fluke, we looked at month-by-month data going back all the way to the month before the preceding presidential election. The early coverage of 2016 easily outstripped the early coverage of 2008 in all but three months, and overall about doubled the number of stories written from October 2004 through March 2006.”
