In the hope of countering all the well-deserved bad publicity he has received, Donald Trump has waged a war against the news media. He has repeatedly called them fake and untrustworthy, and has even labeled them as the "enemy of the people" (emulating his authoritarian idols).
Fortunately, most Americans are not as dumb as Trump thought they were. A majority (54%) says they trust the news media more than they trust Trump. And an even bigger majority (69%) says the news media is an important part of democracy. Only 30% trusts Trump more, and 21% thinks the media is the enemy of the people.
In other words, only Trump's die-hard supporters accept his ridiculous claims. Decent Americans know better.
The charts above reflect the results of the latest Quinnipiac University Poll -- done between September 6th and 9th of a national sample of 1,038 voters, with a 3.7 point margin of error.
