From Accuracy in Media:
Liberals received some more bad news this week as a new Suffolk University poll revealed that Fox News is the most trusted political news source among those surveyed.
- FOX News – 28%
- CNN – 18%
- Undecided -12%
- NBC – 10%
- Other -10%
- MSNBC — 7%
- ABC — 6%
- CBS — 6%
- C-SPAN — 3%
For CNN the poll was a little bit of good news at a time the network is struggling with it’s primetime lineup, and after they received a black-eye this week for omitting former New York governor and current CNN host Eliot Spitzer from a story on political sex scandals.
The news wasn’t so good for MSNBC ….
It’s true that part of the explanation for these results is that the only network that conservatives find their viewpoint fairly represented is on the Fox News Channel, but maybe airing all that one-sided programming bashing conservatives isn’t so good for the other networks after all.
And from BigJournalism:
It was a phone survey of over one thousand people from across the country, divided into Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. There were 62 more women than men.It was also a pretty even split between Democrats and Republicans:
and 96% of those polled identified themselves as very likely to vote in 2012.
Some highlights:
– 59% had a favorable opinion of Hillary Clinton
– 50% had an unfavorable opinion of Newt Gingrich
– 70% had an unfavorable opinion of Donald Trump
– 72% disapproval rating for congressional job performance
– 48% believe Obama has not stayed true to his campaign promises, 42% believe he has
– Out of all GOP contenders, the majority would vote for Romney if the election were held today
– Romney trails Obama by only three points
– 53% disagree that raising taxes should be an option for reducing the debt
It’s a pretty even-handed sampling that even the Soros orgs can’t deny.
Very interesting.
