“Republicans who say they have trust in the media has plummeted to 14 percent from 32% a year ago. This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,” the analyst noted.

Among Democrats, the number is 51 percent, among independents, it is 30 percent.

I'm surprised that the trust rating was at 40 percent a year ago.

It must have been some other kind of survey about the media that showed the level under 10 percent. I don't remember what that was.
