Immigration was one of the five topics most covered by 25 major news outlets in the first 60 days of the Biden administration.

The percentage of Americans following news of the pandemic very closely has slipped to its lowest level since the beginning of the outbreak.

Americans inhabited different information environments, with wide gaps in how they viewed the election and COVID-19.

In studying voters' views of election fraud, we found these views varied by whether people got their news from the Trump campaign.

Partisans differ on whether social media companies’ decisions had a major impact on the election.

Biden supporters are more likely than Trump supporters to be confident their news sources will make the right call in announcing a winner. And partisans remain worlds apart on how well the U.S. has controlled the coronavirus outbreak.

Among Republicans, opinions about the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. differ considerably by source of news.

About two-thirds of Republicans say the U.S. has controlled the outbreak as much as it could have; 88% of Democrats disagree.

Republicans are about four times as likely as Democrats to say voter fraud has been a major issue with mail-in ballots.

Americans are following the president's statements on the COVID-19 pandemic less closely than a few months ago.
