Pew Research: When It Comes To News, One Name Rules For GOP Voters.

New research from the Pew Research Center finds consumers whose politics lean left toward the Democratic Party are considerably more likely than their right-leaning GOP counterparts to use and trust several major news sources, including major TV networks like ABC, CBS and NBC; cable news networks, including CNN and MSNBC; major public broadcasters PBS and NPR; and the legacy newspaper with the largest number of digital subscribers, The New York Times.

Republicans, meanwhile, are much more likely to distrust all these sources, Pew Notes in its new survey, “The Political Gap In Americans’ News Sources,” which aims to find how Americans feel about 30 major news sources in the U.S. “Republicans and independents who lean Republican get news from a fairly concentrated group of sources, and one rises to the top: Fox News,” Pew’s report says. “A majority of Republicans (57%) say they regularly get news from the cable network, at least double the share who say they turn to any other news source we asked about.”

After Fox News, Republicans are most likely to say they regularly get news from the major broadcasting trio of ABC News (27%), NBC News (24%), and CBS News (22%). “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast gets 22%.

Other outlets more likely to be regular sources of news for Republicans include Newsmax (15% vs. 1% Democrats), The Daily Wire (12% vs. 2%), and Tucker Carlson Network (9% vs. 1%).

But Democratic and Democratic-leaning news consumers turned to a wider range of sources that Pew asked about. “Nearly half of Democrats say they regularly get news from CNN (48%), NBC (47%), and ABC (46%),” Pew says. “About four-in-ten Democrats say they get news from CBS (39%), while roughly three-in-ten say the same about MSNBC (33%), NPR (32%), The Associated Press (31%), PBS (31%), BBC News (30%) and The New York Times (29%)… All of these sources are far more likely to be consumed by Democrats than Republicans.”Democrats also are more likely to say they get news from The Washington Post (18% vs. 7% Republicans), Politico (12% vs. 4%), and The Atlantic (10% vs. 1%).

While news sources vary by party, the research finds, overlap remains. For example, Pew found, 20% of Republicans and GOP-inclined voters regularly consume news from CNN, similar to the share of Democrats who get news from Fox News (18%).

Comparable portions of both groups get news from less-used sources like The Wall Street Journal (16% among Democrats vs. 12% among Republicans), Forbes (10% vs. 9%), and the New York Post (8% vs. 10%).
