Voters are still critical of the news coverage President Trump is getting and continue to believe most reporters are out to get him.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that only 34% of Likely U.S. Voters rate the media coverage of the president as good or excellent. Forty-four percent (44%) describe the coverage of Trump as poor. Both findings are up slightly from January just before Trump took office and are consistent with views of the media coverage of last year's Clinton. vs. Trump presidential campaign. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Fifty percent (50%) think most reporters are biased against the president, up two points from January. Just four percent (4%) think most reporters are biased in Trump's favor, a 12-point drop from the previous survey. Forty percent (40%) think the majority of reporters try to be fair and balanced, up from 31%.

I assume the other 24% tuned out the mainstream media a long time ago, and thus don’t feel they can give a proper answer?
Wow 24% of GOP are #NeverTrumpers, RINOs, or watch no news at all. Would never have believed the percentage was that high.
MSM “reporters” are not reporters. They’re propagandists. Reporters, I have no problem with.
Did they also poll Democrats and Independents?
“Just 36% of voters now trust the political news they are getting.”
Wow 24% of GOP are #NeverTrumpers, RINOs, or watch no news at all. Would never have believed the percentage was that high.
".. just 20% of voters say they believe most stories that are based on anonymous sources."
The caliphate cronies at CNN aren’t allowed to leave their ivory tower.
The 76% number EXPLAINS A LOT...starting with the fact that Trump’s people are still glued to him, and the fact that they are turning out for special elections when the Dems think they have it in the bag.
Not a wrinkle in sight.
She’s expensive.
I’m guessing the other 24% are Never Trumpers.
She cleans up well.
It has Teeth.
24% are just stupid.
And oh how they fawned over their pet puff. Transparent they are.
24% are trump haters or lying about affiliation.
"After the surveys are completed, the raw data is processed through a weighting program...because different segments of the population answer the phone in different ways. For example, women answer the phone more than men, older people are home more and answer more than younger people, and rural residents typically answer the phone more frequently than urban residents."
Think about it...how many Trump supporters would answer their phone, and tell "a single, digitally-recorded, voice" how they feel about things?
It reads like Rasmussen keeps calling after hang-ups then re-weights the results. Thus, I strongly suspect the TRUE percentage of Trump supporters is higher.
The best take on this topic was Bill Burr on Conan, the night after the election. In the midst of a talk about how the polls were off, Bill said "...if you're any sort of a normal person, if just someone came walkin' up to you with a clipboard like 'hey, ah, who are you voting for President?' you'd be like 'hey, ah, none of your f***ing business.'"
