The Mainstream Media's New Role As The Opposition Party
(WASHINGTON) President Donald Trump and his administration have been in a non-stop fight with several media outlets, and recent polling gives the administration reason to continue this effort.
Two polls out Tuesday, from Emerson College and SurveyUSA, show that registered voters both trust and like Trump more than the media.
The Emerson College poll found that 49 percent of voters find Trump truthful, while just 39 percent of voters believe the news media is truthful.
There was a heavy split among party lines when it came to this matter.
While 77 percent of Democrats believe the Trump administration is untruthful, 89 percent trust Trump’s government.
At the same time, 91 percent of Republicans believe the news media is untruthful, and 69 percent of Democrats believe the press is honest.
Registered independent voters consider both the Trump administration and the press to be untruthful.
