President Trump this week proposed the creation of a “fake news trophy.”


But he’s likely to be disappointed that many voters picked Fox News as the organization that most deserved it.


A new poll from conservative-leaning Rasmussen found that 40% of all voters thought Fox deserved the non-award.


Here’s the breakdown for the other outlets that voters picked:


  • 25% said CNN deserved the fake news trophy

  • 9% said MSNBC

  • 4% said ABC

  • 3% said CBS

  • 2% said NBC

Another 6% picked a different outlet and 11% were undecided.


Break it down by political party, and Democrats (53%) and voters that weren’t affiliated with a party (42%) picked Fox as the network that deserved the “trophy.” Republicans were more likely to pick CNN (40%) over Fox (24%).


When he proposed the “fake news trophy,” Trump said it should go to the network that has the “most dishonesty, corrupt and/or distorted” coverage of him.

He specified that the contest shouldn’t include Fox.



The survey found that a majority of voters (51%) believe that media coverage of political issues and events is worse than it has been in the past. Another 27% said it’s about the same and 19% said it was worse.


Rasmussen surveyed 1,000 likely voters on Tuesday and Wednesday, with an error margin of 3 points.
