there are more than 350 mentions of the organization
(excluding Retweeted segments) on his Twitter account out of
approximately 7,000 tweets.
By comparison, Trump has mentioned The New York Times
more than 180 times, CNN on more than 100 occasions, and
MSNBC just 24 times. A frequent target of Trump’s media fire
is The New York Times. The median score of those tweets
is -33, which is similar to the overall American disapproval
associated with the term “fake news.”
Republicans tend to view the president’s media attacks
in a favorable light, unlike most Americans. That group’s
lowest-rated media-related tweets, however, include tweets
in which the president insisted that he does not watch 4-8
hours of television a day (+40), criticized Fox News for
moderating a conversation with Bernie Sanders in April
(+45), and his reminder that the candidate he endorsed
for the Alabama Senate primary, Luther Strange, “went up
MANY points” before losing (+31).
Methodology: YouGov TweetIndex shows how the public
rate each tweet from President Donald Trump’s official
Twitter account. At the end of every day, YouGov shows a
representative sample of US adults the tweets sent in the
past 24 hours by President Trump. The panelists are asked
to rate the posts on a scale Great (+2), Good (+1), OK (0),
Bad (-1), and Terrible (-2). Theoretically, scores can range
from -200 (if everyone thought the tweet was “Terrible”) to
+200 (if everyone thought the tweet was “Great”).
