In just five years, the percentage of Republicans with at least some trust in national news organizations has been cut in half — dropping from 70% in 2016 to 35% this year. This decline is fueling the continued widening of the partisan gap in trust of the media.
Nearly eight-in-10 Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (78%) say they have “a lot” or “some” trust in the information that comes from national news organizations — 43 percentage points higher than Republicans and Republican leaners (35%) — according to a new Pew Research Center survey conducted June 14-27, 2021.
