Nearly half (48%) also believe most reporters are biased against the president. Only 12% think they are biased for Trump, while 31% feel most reporters try to be fair and balanced.
My god man, read your sources...

That doesn't say what you're saying above.

A bit high but not that uncommon outside of liberal bubbles in the Clinton archipelagos.

just kidding - they do internet, too.

It does appear to be an outlier compared to other polls - I'd like to better understand why. I imagine their sampling assumptions must be pretty different.
Outlier you said? Last time the "outliers" won.

I didn't say it was "wrong" - I said it was an outlier. And it is.

Yess, but the subtext is that the outlier is wrong and the herd is right. Yo think we'll fall for it again?

Funny how every poll you disagree with is BIASED, but the ones you like are supposedly not biased at all.
