Number of Americans with Zero Confidence in Media Hits Record High

Gallup’s annual poll measuring the public trust in mass media found a record high number of those who have no trust at all.

Six in ten of those polled have  have “not very much” trust (27 percent)  in the media, while those who have “none at all” hit a record 33 percent.

Only four in ten say they have “a great deal” (nine percent) or “fair amount” (31 percent) of trust in mass media.

The 40 percent number who do — for some dumb reason — trust the media is higher than the 32 percent record low achieved during the 2016 presidential election, but it is also down five points since 2018.

The 33 percent with no trust whatsoever is a record high.

One-third of the country has written the national media off entirely.

The national media’s sharp turn to the far-left does appear to have helped its standing with Democrats, who apparently enjoyed being serially lied to, so long as the lies hit their sweet spot. A full 73 percent of Democrats say they trust the media a “great deal or fair amount.” This is just three points below 2018’s record high of 76 percent.

Republicans’ trust of the media hit an all-time low of just ten percent.
