Politics & Media

Pew Research Center’s political typology sorts Americans into cohesive, like-minded groups based on their values, beliefs, and views about politics and the political system. Use this tool to compare the groups on some key topics and their demographics.

In just five years, the percentage of Republicans with at least some trust in national news organizations has been cut in half.

Here’s a look at how adults in the United States see cancel culture, political correctness and related issues, based on the Center’s surveys.

Americans’ trust in media varies widely by political party and whether they see the outlet in question as part of the “mainstream media.”

A new study of posts on popular public Facebook pages about the early days of the Biden administration finds that the focus of these posts, as well as the assessments of the new president, differed widely by the ideological orientation of the pages.

11% of stories about Joe Biden’s early days as president cited an anonymous or unnamed source, and fewer than 1% relied solely on such sources.

Differences within each party on views of foreign policy emerge based on where Americans turn for political news.

The pandemic and its effects on society became a pervasive part of the media narrative about Joe Biden’s first 60 days in office.

During the first 60 days of the new administration, roughly half of stories about the Biden administration mentioned Donald Trump in some way.

U.S. adults explain – in their own words – what they think cancel culture means.
