Only about one in four voters trust the U.S. news media to properly report on crime, a new Rasmussen survey reveals.

In a national survey of 915 likely voters, conducted on June 8-9, 2021, Rasmussen asked:

“Do most of the news media report fairly and accurately about the problem of crime in America?”

Fully 60% said, “No,” they don’t trust the media’s crime coverage, two and a half times the 24% who said they did. Another 15% weren’t sure.
