Analysis: Republicans and Democrats have never been more divided on confidence in the media
Supporters of President Trump at a campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., last August. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow March 21 at 5:25 PM One of the ironies of writing about attitudes toward the media in The Washington Post is you are almost necessarily creating a paradox for some readers.
On the other end of the political spectrum, fewer Democrats express low confidence in the media than at any point in nearly 30 years. The result is a gap of 43 points between members of the two parties, a broad gulf on whether the news media is trustworthy. The General Social Survey is not the only research that shows a gulf in views of the media by party. Gallup’s annual look at trust in mass media showed the second-greatest gap between the two parties in 2018, trailing only 2017. More than three quarters of Democrats said they had at least a fair amount of trust in mass media, compared with 21 percent of Republicans. Amazingly, that 21 percent in 2018 was a 50 percent improvement over the previous year.
