Venezuela, Trust, and the News
On this week’s Poll Hub: A stunning moment in Venezuela puts U.S. military power and public opinion front and center. Americans are sharply divided over the operation to capture the country’s president, but nearly everyone agrees on one thing: Venezuela’s future should be decided by Venezuelans themselves. Next, we examine why Americans are questioning the press. With trust in traditional news falling and more people turning to platforms, creators, and algorithms for information, what does this shift mean for democracy, shared facts, and the future of polling? And, for our fun fact, we’re shifting gears to see how many Americans have experience driving a car with a manual transmission.
