As Americans navigate the abundance of information about the 2024 U.S. presidential election, many of them are seeing news they think is inaccurate — and having a hard time distinguishing fact from fiction.
A new Pew Research Center survey finds that about three-quarters of U.S. adults (73%) say they have seen inaccurate news coverage about the election at least somewhat often, including 37% who have seen this kind of information extremely or very often.
About half of Americans (52%) say they generally find it difficult to determine what is true and what is not when getting news about the election. And 28% separately say that it’s been difficult for them to find reliable information about the presidential election.
