Nation split on Trump-media war: 43% say press ‘trying to hurt Trump' while 53% give good grade

While the public trusts President Trump more than the media on the evolving coronavirus crisis, it’s largely split on the performance of the press, the coverage of the crisis, and bias.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, Trump emerged as more trusted than the media and Congress on the issue. When asked, “Who do you trust more in the current coronavirus crisis,” 35% said Trump, 30% said “the average reporter,” 18% did not know, and 17% said “the average member of Congress.”
