Nathaniel: What's lacking here is any assurance that those being surveyed are familiar enough to accurately rate the outlets they've been asked to judge. We have no way of knowing how many of the 1500 respondents took wild, uninformed stabs at rating the outlets. Lendly: I definitely think that people can have opinions of media outlets without personally reading or watching it. But there's value in seeing what everyone has to say as opposed to just the especially media literate public.
On Tuesday, voters are heading to the polls in at least three competitive races: the Kentucky Republican gubernatorial primary, the Philadelphia Democratic mayoral primary and the Jacksonville mayoral election. In this installment of the podcast, Galen and Nathaniel preview the state of those three races. They also speak with YouGov's Linley Sanders about a new poll showing that Democrats broadly trust news outlets more than Republicans, including even some right-leaning news outlets. And they look at how the public is reacting to last week's scandals involving former President Donald Trump and New York Rep. George Santos.
