RESTON, VA -- The Media Research Center (MRC) in coordination with McLaughlin & Associates on Tuesday released the findings of a new poll examining likely voters’ attitudes toward media coverage of the coronavirus shutdown and President Trump. The poll found that 60% of likely voters, both liberal and conservative, believed some members of the media would like to see the shutdown drag on so that it hurts President Trump's chances of reelection in November. Of those polled, 85% of self-identified conservatives and 41% of self-identified liberals agreed with the above statement. “This is just more evidence of how at odds the American liberal media are with the American public,” said MRC President Brent Bozell. “Honest journalism has been replaced with leftist advocacy. Even in these divisive times, both conservatives and liberals can agree on one thing: the media have it out for President Trump.” Here are some of the poll’s findings: QUESTION [OF LIKELY VOTERS]: DO YOU BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA THAT WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS SHUTDOWN DRAGON AS LONG AS POSSIBLE SO THAT IT HURTS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CHANCES IN NOVEMBER?
