NEW YORK (Reuters) - Americans are increasingly confident in the news media and less so in President Donald Trump’s administration after a tumultuous year in U.S. politics that tested the public’s trust in both institutions, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Tuesday.
The poll of more than 14,300 people found that the percentage of adults who said they had a “great deal” or “some” confidence in the press rose to 48 percent in September from 39 percent last November. Earlier this year, Trump branded the entire industry as the “enemy of the American people.”
The percentage of those who said they had “hardly any” confidence in the press dropped to 45 percent from 51 percent over the same period.

Comic Absurdity! Good for an early morning LOL!
Yeah, right.
LOL LOL LOL
every other poll regarding media trust in the past year has been half this alleged trust level, thus when CNN and the rest of the enemedia touts this poll, it’s simply more evidence to the vast majority of people who know the media lies to them that this is just another one of those lies.
More disinformation. They serve their masters well. But the managed slaves “ain’t buyin’ it no more”.
It’s like one of those logic puzzles where half the people on the island always lie, and the other half always tell the truth. An islander approaches you, and you have to ask them one question and then determine if they are a liar or a truth-teller.
“Do people trust the media?”
The truth-teller will say “No”.
The journalist will say “Yes, they trust us.”
LOL, according to the press the press is now more trusted. Fire up the old circle jerk in the news room!!
The press, branded the ‘enemy’ by Trump, increasingly trusted by the public: Reuters/Ipsos poll
Obviously fake news and Bullshit !
Rubbish.
They’ve impeached themselves over and over before with dishonest polls. I wonder how bad they weighted the people questioned this time?
Yes. ;-P
Last I heard was alive, but barely, and not expected to survive.
The same Reuters that writes false narratives and photoshops pictures to promote the false narrative.
News Agency: Everyone loves us. All our fellow news agencies are reporting this. That means it’s true.
al Rooters. That’s funny.
Trust us when we proclaim that the public trust in us is increasing. Um no, I see no evidence to support that, other than your poll that may or may not be accurate. Since you had Hillary winning in all of your polls, that is enough to convince me that I should ignore this polling result as well.
“’What you’re seeing now is a gradual recognition of the importance of the press’ at a time when people are still getting used to a new president whose campaign is under federal investigation for alleged collusion with Russia, Kumar said.”
The investigation into Russian election influence is a mere allegation with not one shred of evidence of anything illegal. And if the Russians did anything at all to influence the election, there is nothing to support that their involvement was pro-Trump. They might have supported Bernie Sanders. They may have made it more difficult for Trump to win.
There are no internals to this poll. This tells me that, like usual, the lying media has an agenda to hide. Who did they contact? How did they contact them? What was the specific wording of the questions?
And even with all of this, the best support they can drum up for themselves is that less than half of America (48%) consider the media to have even “some credibility.” The majority of Americans recognize that the media as a whole has either no credibility or almost none.
The lying presstitutes have teamed up with the lying liberals to disseminate the most vicious propaganda against Trump and conservatives to the degree we now have multiple mass murders and attempted murders targeted at us. It is the Democrats, the media, and the rich entertainers who have blood on their hands.
And I forgot to add that this interpretation of the responses misses the mark entirely. It is exactly because we recognize the “importance of the press” and the first amendment in general, that we despise the lies and slander of the liberal media. But then these people think they are the press. The press, at the time of the ratification of the first amendment, was a machine designed for the mass distribution of printed materials. The “press” today is all of the various means of written and audio-visual communications. It is not and never was a special group of people known collectively as “the press.”
We’ll find out in 2018 with the elections.
I tried to look at the internals of this poll.
42% of democrats approved
78% republicans approved
40% independents approved
However...
85% of Trump voters approved
46% of Clinton approved of the job trump is doing
I am not a math wiz or anything but their final numbers make no sense to me
Their final numbers are 38% approve / 56% disapprove
If this makes sense to ANYONE, please explain it to me!!!
