CNN Has The Trust Advantage Over President Trump In A New Poll<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Even as controversy continues over President Donald Trump\u2019s tweet of a video showing him beating up a personified version of CNN, a poll released Tuesday shows the cable news outlet edging him in trust among most Americans.<\/span><\/p>\n

The survey also showed the New York Times, Washington Post and the broadcast television networks faring better than Trump in trustworthiness. But the poll, conducted by Survey Monkey and published by Axios, also illustrates the stark political divide in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll, conducted between last Thursday and Monday, showed that 50 percent of American adults trust CNN more than Trump, with 43 percent favoring the president. Trump posted his disparaging CNN tweet on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll also found that by a nine-percentage-point margin, American adults trust the Post and the Times \u2015 lumped together \u2015 more than Trump. And ABC, CBS and NBC are more trusted by an 11-point margin over the president.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Trump-CNN battle, though, Republicans and Democrats are on completely different pages. The poll reported that 89 percent of Republicans in the survey trust Trump over CNN, with only 9 percent favoring media outlet. Among Democrats, the results are even more one-sided \u2015 91 percent give CNN the trustworthiness nod, with just 5 percent choosing Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among political independents, 55 percent said CNN is more trustworthy while 40 percent put more stock in the president than the news network.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jon Cohen, Survey Monkey\u2019s senior vice president for research, told Axios that Democrats shouldn\u2019t be fooled into thinking that Trump\u2019s tweets are distancing him from his Republican base. On the other hand, Cohen warned that Republicans should worry about Trump\u2019s standing among independents.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only do most Republicans approve of [Trump\u2019s] use of Twitter, but asked to describe those tweets, the No. 1 mention among the GOP is \u2018truthful,\u2019 with \u2018entertaining\u2019 in second place,\u201d Cohen told Axios.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he added: \u201cFully three-quarters of pure independents (those that don\u2019t lean one way or the other) disapprove of Trump\u2019s tweeting, and their top three descriptors for it are \u2018undignified,\u2019 \u2018mean,\u2019 and \u2018dishonest.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll surveyed 4,965 adults online and has an error margin of +\/- 2.5 percentage points for its results for all American adults.<\/span><\/p>\n

The survey comes on the heels of a similar poll published Monday that showed both Trump and, even more so, the media struggling on the trust issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the NPR\/PBS Newshour\/Marist College poll, more than two-thirds of American adults \u2015 68 percent \u2015 said they trust the media \u201cnot at all\u201d or \u201cnot very much. The figure for Trump was 61 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The poll also found that most Americans think Washington is generally less civil under Trump\u2019s administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

The survey was conducted June 21-25 of 1,205 adults, and has an error margin of +\/- 2.8 percentage points<\/span><\/p>\n
