I notice that CNN is far more trusted than FOX, Brietbart, and of course, Donald Trump. But they aren't as trusted as outlets like public radio, Reuters, and Politico.
These are the most — and the least — trusted news sources in the U.S.
Trump himself was also viewed as untrustworthy, according to survey respondents, with a credibility score that was better than social-media sources but worse than the internet as a whole. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/t...ast-trusted-news-sources-in-the-us-2017-08-03
Which seems about right. Polls asking people one word that describes Trump:
Given an open-ended choice to name the first word that comes to mind when they think of President Trump, more respondents say "idiot" than any other descriptors, according a survey released Tuesday.
The Quinnipiac University poll finds 53 voters polled think first of the word "idiot" when describing Trump, with another 44 voters saying "liar" and 36 voters responding "incompetent."
Thirty-five voters say they think of the word "leader" when Trump is mentioned, and the same number say they think of the word "strong."
Other words including "*******," "great" and "moron" were all given as responses by more than 19 people in the open-ended question.
According to Quinnipiac, 30 out of the 48 words used by five or more voters were negative.
The survey also finds that a majority of voters disapprove of the job Trump is doing in office, 57 percent to 37 percent.
The poll was conducted from Dec. 6 to 11 among 1,211 voters. The margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.
In an ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in September, "incompetent" topped the list when voters were asked what one word best describes their impression of Trump.
