"In past elections, there was always fear of misinformation and election interference coming from abroad. But here we see the most likely source of concern is America's own politicians spreading misinformation."
"54% of respondents in the survey agreed with the statement, 'I've disengaged from politics because I can't tell what's true.'"
"8 in 10 voters said they believe that misinformation can significantly affect election outcomes, political discourse and civility."
"Skepticism about the truth has so blurred the lines that respondents were as likely to say they regularly see misinformation in online mainstream news (77%) or cable TV (73%) as in their social media feeds (76%) or partisan news outlets (72%)."
