Poll: More Americans trust CNN than Trump
By Aida Chavez - 07/04/17 09:30 AM EDT

A new online poll finds that Americans trust CNN, The Washington Post and The New York Times more than President Trump, Axios reported Tuesday.

But amid Trump’s ongoing war against the press, trust is largely split among partisan lines, with 89 percent of Republicans viewing Trump as more trustworthy than CNN while 91 percent of Democrats think the opposite.

Among all adults, trust for CNN is 7 points ahead of Trump; among independents, CNN wins by 15 points.

I don't really get this. In my mind there is no such thing as more untrustworthy.

There is only untrustworthy.

1. Trump is untrustworthy. View everything he says with suspicion.

2. Cnn is untrustworthy. View everything they say with suspicion.

I don't know if it is true or not, but I have a feeling that Trump's war against the media is going to backfire.. Something tells me it will. Hopefully I'm wrong.

You mean like the story of the boy who cried "Wolf Blitzer" too many times?
