Three Months In, Many Americans See Exaggeration, Conspiracy Theories and Partisanship in COVID-19 News
Americans give CDC highest marks, White House lowest on getting coronavirus facts right; wide partisan divides
Growing share of Americans, particularly Republicans, say outbreak has been exaggerated
After three months, fewer Americans ‘very closely’ following COVID-19 news
Republicans more likely than Democrats to say discerning truth in COVID-19 news is becoming harder
Most have heard at least a little about the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 outbreak was planned; in this group, 36% say the theory is probably or definitely true
Americans who rely on Trump for COVID-19 news more likely to say COVID-19 has been exaggerated, find it difficult to determine what’s true
Americans who often get COVID-19 news from social media more likely to hear claim that outbreak was planned
