CNN Poll Finds Only 2% of People Get Their News From CNN

CNN ran a poll and I couldn’t even get past the first few pages to get to the actual poll questions because the first background breakdown was too funny.

CNN asked “is there a specific person or source you trust to tell you about what’s happening in politics?”

Only 45% answered ‘Yes’. 5% listed FOX News, only 2% listed CNN (in a CNN News poll), 1% answered MSNBC, ABC and NBC News got 1% each. So did the New York Times.

Clearly few have any loyalty to any particular outlet.

None of the personalities, from Candace Owens to Tucker Carlson placed. Joe Rogan and Heather Cox Richardson (if you don’t know who she is, it’s because you’re not a liberal) both got 1%.

Despite the perception that people are getting their news from podcasts, they only scored 1%, as did Instagram and the entire internet, AI didn’t even place. Neither did Reddit or ‘influencers’.

7% hear things from friends and family. That’s the highest score.

Actually the highest score was “No, there isn’t anyone who I trust to tell me about what’s happening in politics” at 55%.

This poll is hilarious and it shows just how fragmented the ecosystem is and how little most people care about the media and the various social media influencers, and how little they trust any of it.
