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.

Just a guess but that may be a sub sample of “registered voters” within the overall sample of “adults.” Polls with just adults, not voters, will always skew more towards lib dummies.

“We’ll find out in 2018 with the elections.”

indeed. the only poll that counts and the one I’m greatly looking forward to. I hope we Trumpists do well in that poll, because I do SO look forward to the impotent blizzard of meltdowns by Blitzer and the rest of the increasingly irrelevant enemedia.

I get that most polls are weighted and such but these numbers really show me that they get whatever results the want. If I average Clinton voters and Trump voters it looks pretty good for Trump

Fake news using fake polls to attempt to influence people that are very aware of fake polls and fake news.

Nice try.

Well, it’s one hundred channels of 24/7, a hundred newspapers, and at least that many websites, plus half of Congress versus one guy with a Twitter.

According to who?
I know hard core liberals who don’t believe the MSM and publicly admit they fabricate stories to fit their agenda.

More than other modern presidents, Trump has treated the news media hostile reporters as an part of the opposition party. He has shamed individual reporters by name and responded to unflattering reports slanderous lies as “fake news.”
”Shamed” is a bit strong, when the people in question wear being outted as tendentious liars a badge of honor . . .
