A higher percentage of U.S. adults say they trust President Donald Trump’s White House to tell the truth than they do the national political media, according to a Morning Consult poll released Friday.

Roughly 37 percent of respondents said Trump’s White House is more trustworthy than the national press corps. Another 29 percent said the media were more truthful. About 34 percent of those polled either didn’t know or had no opinion.

The poll found that a high percentage of Americans believe they spot “fake news” on a semi-regular basis, thus fueling their negative perceptions about the media’s trustworthiness.

In addition, 48 percent of the poll’s respondents believe the media have “been harder on President Trump” when compared with past administrations, while just 16 percent thought the media have been easier on Trump. Thirteen percent didn’t know or offered no opinion.

The poll, conducted April 25-26 of 2,006 U.S. adults, found that a plurality of Americans are tuning in to the president’s ongoing war with the mainstream media and their coverage of him.

When respondents were asked about how much trust they place in the national political media “to cover President Trump’s White House fairly,” just 17 percent said they trusted the media “a lot,” and 21 percent said they trust them “some.” Twenty-six percent indicated they didn’t have a lot of faith in the media, while another 26 percent said they didn’t trust the media at all.

The poll also found that a high percentage of Americans believe they spot “fake news” on a semi-regular basis, contributing to their negative perceptions about the media’s trustworthiness.

Approximately 36 percent of those polled indicated that they find fake news on social media platforms “more than once a day,” while 15 percent said they spot fake news “about once a day.” Twelve percent said they stumble across fake news “about once every few days,” 5 percent said they see it “about once a week,” and 7 percent indicated they see it “less often than once a week.” Roughly 25 percent either didn’t know or had no opinion.

Seven percent see it once a week, and 13 percent see it less often than once a week.

Over half of the Morning Consult poll’s respondents, 51 percent, said the media are “out of touch with everyday Americans.” Only 28 percent believed the media correctly understand the issues facing them.
