Of those who still read newspapers, Democrats made up a narrow majority in the 1990s and early 2000s, but their lead has turned into a rout. Now, among people who read the paper multiple times a week, Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2 to 1.
Look a little deeper, and you see that edge comes entirely from Democrats with college degrees. In fact, Democrats with advanced degrees are the only growing readership demographic out there. And by “growing” we mean that even this group, the last loyal newspaper readers in the country, are reading less often with every passing year — but their population keeps increasing so fast that it offsets any individual losses.
