46 Percent Believe Media Creates Fake News About Trump

According to a poll conducted by Politico and Morning Consult, nearly half of American voters distrust the media’s reporting on President Trump and his administration.

Not only that, but they believe journalists deliberately make up stories about Trump. But, more surprising, it’s not just Republicans or Trump supporters who believe this.

The results out Wednesday by Politico, reveal that while 76 percent of Republicans believe the media makes up stories about Trump, a whopping 44 percent of independent voters, and 1 in 5 Democrats also believe the media lies in their reporting on Trump.

It seems the media’s constant negative reporting on the president has taken its toll, not only on his base, but on independents and some Democrats as well.
