(POLL) 43% say media is hostile to Trump


The following is from Rasmussen Reports.


Most US likely voters say the news media has not done a good job covering President Donald Trump’s administration, and relatively few believe the coverage has been friendly, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.

The poll finds that 32% of likely US voters rate the quality of news media coverage of the Trump administration as good or excellent, down from 35% in August. Meanwhile, 42% now rate the media’s coverage of Trump as poor.

When asked about tone, 43% of voters say most national news media organizations are hostile toward Trump. Just 16% say the media are friendly to Trump, down from 22% in August. Thirty percent say most national news media organizations are neutral and objective in their coverage, while 10% say they are not sure.

Views differ sharply depending on how voters rate media performance. Among those who say the media’s coverage of the Trump administration is poor, 58% say most news organizations are hostile toward Trump. Among those who rate media coverage as excellent, most say national news organizations are either friendly or neutral.

Opinions also vary by political affiliation. Forty-one percent of Republicans rate media coverage of the Trump administration as good or excellent, compared with 28% of Democrats and 27% of voters not affiliated with either major party. Sixty-four percent of Republicans say most national news media organizations are hostile to Trump, compared with 24% of Democrats and 42% of unaffiliated voters.

The survey of 1,122 likely US voters was conducted January 4–6, 2026, by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

    To: President Trump From: Sergeant Thomas J Hussman – Minneapolis Police Department 1972 – 1996 (Retired and Highly Decorated) Sir: You know perfectly well what I have been doing in El Salvador for the past 10 years. You know because government agents follow me and read everything I write and make reports about my activities for your review. I have had a front row seat as El Salvador has transformed from a “Murder Capital” to a safe and happy country. Policemen are no longer assassinated daily by unchecked violent international gang members. Water and food supplies are abundant. Life here has changed from fear to freedom. You and the President of El Salvador deserve recognition. Recognition for bravery and for seeking peace. So today I send a Thankyou to the USA and the Government of El Salvador. Thankyou! The Lord of the Universe heard our prayers and armed with the Precious Blood of Jesus a miracle of peace has come to El Salvador. Supernatural ??? Absolutely.

  2. Sorry, that poll is very, very wrong!!!! The MSM is 100% hostile to president Trump. They are an arm of the Democratic party. The Dems know they can do anything they want without consequences. There is zero honesty in their reporting. The MSM and Dems are destroying America,

    Hopefully the people will continue to vote Republican until both the Dems and the MSM return to caring for America. America needs both parties and a MSM that cares ONLY about America!!!
