The POTUS Has A Trust And Credibility Problem…

West Long Branch, NJ  – Fully 8-in-10 Americans agree that Donald Trump has had a worse relationship with the media than his predecessors, with most saying this is hurting both his image and the media’s image as well. When the Monmouth University Poll  pitted the president against three major television news outlets, Trump was found to be less trustworthy in each instance. The poll also found that most Americans believe that news outlets – from traditional media entities to newer online sources – report “fake news” stories at least occasionally.

81% say Trump’s relationship with the media is worse than his predecessors.
4% say his relationship is better.
12% says it is close to the same.
58% believe this has hurt Trump’s image.
7% believe it has helped Trump’s image.
32% believe it has made no difference.

28% are moe likely to trust Trump -vs- ABC as a information source.
38% -vs- MSNBC
17% -vs- FOX

When it comes to GOP partisans the story is much different.

Trump -vs-  MSNBC – Trump 66% to 16% MSNBC
Trump -vs- ABC –  Trump 56% to 22% ABC
Trump -vs- FOX – Trump 29% to FOX 26%, with 44% of republicans having equal trust.

Generally Trump has dug himself a hole with respect to credibility. One which is unlikely to become shallower given his past and present affinity for lying.

  1. He’ll be wrapping up his first hundred says soon and he hasn’t done anything other than write executive orders that did no good for anyone except polluters and cable CEOs.

  2. He acts like he thinks that all he has to do to get anything done, is say it and sign an order. Maybe that works for a CEO in a business, but the president is not a CEO, the government is not a business, and the people are not employees.

    1. He’s Trump The Great Winnah. I really think he believed all he needed to do is show up, grunt, give the order, and his will would gladly be done.
