75% Informative

Most Americans are following the election closely, though roughly half say it’s hard to know what's true.

Three-quarters of U.S. adults say they have seen inaccurate news coverage about the election at least somewhat often.

Republicans (including independents) are much more likely than Democrats and Democratic leaners to say they've seen inaccurate coverage.

Americans are much less likely to be wary of the information from their most frequent sources of election news.

Four -in- ten U.S. adults say news about the candidates’ comments and actions on the campaign trail appears to be the most common type of coverage people are seeing.

This does not align with what Americans are most interested in.

Younger and older Americans are getting election news in very different ways.

Democrats and Republicans largely give similar answers about what platforms they use most often for election news.
