A recent CNN poll reveals a stark contrast in news consumption between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans overwhelmingly recall the assassination attempt against Trump, while Democrats focus on his claims about Haitian immigrants and his performance in the debate.
Over the past week, Americans were more likely to hear news about former President Donald Trump than about Vice President Kamala Harris , according to The Breakthrough, a CNN polling project that tracks what average Americans are actually hearing, reading and seeing about the presidential candidates throughout the campaign.
But after a spate of high-profile news that drew attention largely across the political spectrum — including the presidential debate and the first assassination attempt against Trump — this week’s data shows a significant divergence between what Democrats and Republicans each recalled hearing about the GOP nominee. Republicans focused more on the assassination attempt against the former president in Florida earlier this month, while Democrats continued to say they were hearing more about his baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. In the most recent survey — conducted September 20-23 by SSRS and Verasight on behalf of a research team from CNN, Georgetown University and the University of Michigan, three-quarters of Americans said they’d consumed at least some news about Trump, slightly outpacing the 69% who said the same about Harris. That’s a shift from late August and early September, when roughly equal shares recalled hearing news about each of the candidates. Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to mention the word “assassination” and other phrases surrounding the attempt on Trump’s life, such as references to the golf course where the attempt took place. “Donald Trump has been out on the campaign trail and it’s getting dangerous for him. He had a second attempt on his life recently at a golf course,” one respondent wrote. Democrats were more likely to still focus on the September presidential debate, bringing up words like “lie” and references to Trump falsely claiming that migrants in Ohio were eating pets
