The latest findings from the Pew Research Center show the breakdown of which networks democratic and Republican voters trust for news.
Not surprisingly, most voters who lean Democrat trust TV networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC; cable news networks, including CNN and MSNBC; major public broadcasters PBS and NPR; and the New York Times for their news sources.
According to the Pew Survey, 57% of republican voters said Fox News is where they regularly get their news.
Besides Fox, Republicans are most likely to say they regularly get news from the major broadcasting trio of ABC News (27%), NBC News (24%), and CBS News (22%). “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast gets 22%.
Other outlets more likely to be regular sources of news for Republicans include Newsmax (15% vs. 1% Democrats), The Daily Wire (12% vs. 2%), and Tucker Carlson Network (9% vs. 1%).
But Democratic and Democratic-leaning news consumers turned to a wider range of sources that Pew asked about. “Nearly half of Democrats say they regularly get news from CNN (48%), NBC (47%), and ABC (46%),” Pew says. “About four-in-ten Democrats say they get news from CBS (39%), while roughly three-in-ten say the same about MSNBC (33%), NPR (32%), The Associated Press (31%), PBS (31%), BBC News (30%) and The New York Times (29%)… All of these sources are far more likely to be consumed by Democrats than Republicans.”Democrats also are more likely to say they get news from The Washington Post (18% vs. 7% Republicans), Politico (12% vs. 4%), and The Atlantic (10% vs. 1%).
While news sources vary by party, the research finds that overlap remains. For example, Pew found that 20% of Republicans and GOP-inclined voters regularly consume news from CNN, similar to the share of Democrats who get news from Fox News (18%).
Comparable portions of both groups obtain news from less-used sources, such as The Wall Street Journal (16% among Democrats vs. 12% among Republicans), Forbes (10% vs. 9%), and the New York Post (8% vs. 10%).
