A poll conducted by The Economist and YouGov asked 1,500 Americans about the news habits and opinions on famous anchors and media organizations. Here's what they found:

Among media personalities, Anderson Cooper was highly trusted among Democrats and adult US citizens more broadly, whereas Tucker Carlson was judged to be the most trusted by Republicans.

The Weather Channel is the only source which has more than 50 percent trust with both Republicans and Democrats, while Fox News is the only source trusted by more than 50 percent of Republicans polled.
