**Trust Declines in Media as Americans Turn to Trump for Reliability**
A recent YouGov poll has revealed a striking shift in public trust towards President Donald Trump, indicating that more Americans find him trustworthy over mainstream media outlets.
The survey highlights that only 29 percent of Americans have confidence in the media’s ability to accurately report facts. In stark contrast, 44 percent expressed a similar level of trust in the Trump administration.
This growing skepticism towards traditional media is paralleled by increasing support for Trump, with 25 percent of respondents stating they have a great deal of trust in his administration—a notable rise from just 18 percent in 2017, when he first assumed office.
The poll also reflected concerns regarding media bias, with 43 percent of Americans believing the press actively seeks to undermine Trump. This perception is especially prevalent among Republicans, with 73 percent sharing this view.
The research indicates that Americans desire neutrality in media coverage, with 59 percent believing the media should maintain an impartial stance when reporting on Trump. Even among Democrats, 64 percent expressed a desire for balance, although a significant portion, 42 percent, felt the media offers him a positive portrayal.
Intriguingly, many Americans are now turning to alternative media platforms. Trump's adept embrace of podcasts and other non-traditional outlets has allowed him to connect effectively with voters, demonstrating a clear departure from mainstream narratives.
CNN's Van Jones has acknowledged this transformation, admitting a collective disconnect within the political class regarding how Americans consume media. This shift suggests that Trump's understanding of the evolving media landscape has granted him a substantial advantage.
As confidence in traditional media continues to erode, it appears President Trump is emerging not just as a political figure, but as a trusted voice for a significant portion of the American public, challenging the very foundations of how news is reported and consumed.
