Notably: This was unexpected, though in reality it had fallen so low, it could only go up. From Statista: “Trust in the news was down to the lowest point on record last year in the United States, with only 31 percent of U.S. adults saying that they had either a great deal or fair amount of trust and confidence in mass media, according to Gallup. Levels of trust have dropped dramatically since the polling organization first started fielding the question in 1972, when it stood at 68 percent. And yet, against this dismal backdrop, a new survey by Pew Research Center conducted between March 10 and 16, 2025 indicates that there has been a shift, with U.S. adults now more likely to say they trust information from news organizations than they were last year. According to Pew, this change was largely driven by an increase in trust among Republicans, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Caution should be taken with directly comparing different sets of survey data however due to different phrasing of the question and methodologies. In the Pew Research Center survey, a total of 67 percent of respondents said that they had either some or a lot of trust in national news organizations in 2025, up nine percentage points from 2024. 81 percent of voters who self-identified as aligning with the Democratic Party said they had trust in national news organizations in 2025, while 53 percent of Republican-leaning voters said the same. Local news organizations continued to inspire higher levels of trust and confidence across the board, with 80 percent of all adults stating they trust such outlets in 2025, up six percentage points from 2024. Democratic Party leaning voters had higher levels of trust in local news organizations than Republicans at 87 percent versus 75 percent. Here the gap between the two groups was 12 percentage points, compared to the wider trust gap for national news outlets of 28 percentage points. The topic has several further nuances, though. For example, although Democratic Party voters showed higher levels of trust in news outlets, a separate survey by Pew Research Center also found that since 2024, Democrats have become more concerned about press freedoms. Where 38 percent of Democrats were extremely or very concerned about potential restrictions on press freedoms in the U.S., now that figure has risen to 60 percent. Meanwhile for Republicans, the share of respondents saying the same has dropped from 47 percent to 28 percent. This shift among Democrats could be partly explained by the increase in respondents saying that news organizations are influenced a great deal by government interests, rising from 77 percent in 2024 to 84 percent in 2025.

    Oh Dennis… we’re not running FROM you… we’re running AT you.

    The time for fascism and nazism is long since past. Your orange hero has fomented unrest to manufacture a reason to declare martial law.

    His main group of supporters, you and your ilk, need to be in by 6:30 for dinner, the Wheel, and Jeopardy before turning in for the night, so I don’t think this will go very far. Already his henchman Holman is backing down on his empty threats.

    Dennis drank too much orange kool aid or maybe his own urine as it is the gop cure for covid haha! You’re in a cult Dennis. We don’t even have a left in this nation. Biden was very center. Democrats aren’t the best but still better than being part of a terrorist organization. Stop the orange terror and his cult of convicts! Your guy is literally a pedophile and convicted conman that starves children for a dollar!

    @Dennis C Rathsam says,
    No offense ol’ buddy but do you really want the courts deciding Trump’s policies and actions? According to recent news, Trump’s currently “winning’ in court 4% of the time!
    As far as “Democrats, the party of lies cover ups & SCANDALS”, they’ve got their share. Unfortunately, your leader can seldom open his mouth without spouting lies! According to your man(?), gas is $1.80/gal and eggs are down 87%! I just wish he’d said where exactly I could find that so I can do my shopping there. And there’s certainly no scandals with Trump. Why, grafting millions on Byte coin and getting paid for pardons certainly don’t qualify as scandals to MAGA!
    But you have a great day in MAGAland! I guess if you bath in Fox News, the world seems so much better than it does to those of us who live in the real world….
