Poll: Voters Distrust CNN and MSNBC’s Coverage of 2024 Election

A new poll finds that two major news outlets have negative approval ratings due to their biased coverage of the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

According to the Washington Examiner, the poll from The Article III Project shows that CNN has a net negative of 9% in favorability, with 39% of likely voters supporting its coverage compared to 48% who oppose it. MSNBC’s net negative is lower, at 4%, with 40% holding a favorable view and 44% holding an unfavorable view.

Those net negative margins increase among independent voters, with a 10% net negative for CNN and 9% for MSNBC among the key demographic. Even among college-educated voters, the perception still leans negative; CNN has a 3% net negative margin among this group, while MSNBC’s is just 2%. Young voters deliver some of the most negative views of the two networks, with voters under the age of 45 having a net negative of 11% towards CNN and 5% towards MSNBC.

“While attempts to undermine Trump through lawfare and dishonest media narratives have intensified, this new data shows that this strategy may be backfiring,” said Article III Project’s founder and president Mike Davis. “Voters increasingly distrust the narratives presented by the mainstream media, with trust in far-left outlets like CNN and MSNBC at an all-time low even among independents.”

The same poll also asked voters their opinions on the presidential race, which is now just 20 days away. Although former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are within the margin of error in six battleground states, President Trump leads in four: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Harris has a narrow lead in Nevada, while the two are tied in the crucial state of Pennsylvania. If Trump were to win those four swing states, he would cross the threshold of 270 electoral votes to win the election.

“Looking at trends that stand out across the battleground, Harris holds just a 5-point lead among Hispanic voters while Trump is winning 14% of black voters,” the pollsters noted. “If these figures hold, Trump is poised to outperform any Republican presidential candidate among racial minorities in the modern era. Particularly, Trump looks very strong with Hispanic men and has peeled away support from Harris with black men.”
