I'm not surprised. Trump is at least three times more negative in how he acts and speaks, so what goes around comes around.

   Seriously, the chicken came before the egg. The chicken in this case being Trump.

 

   If he wasn't such an abrasive, obnoxious, unlikeable bully, more people would like him. That includes more people in the media. What I don't get is why his supporters keep bringing it up. That's the guy they voted for. He is who we thought he was.

Interesting thing is Trump's current approval rating matches Obama's approval rating at this point in his presidency even with 3 times more negative reporting. That is like Trump beating Obama in a race while carrying a 100 pound weight and being twice as old.

Some of the other findings in the PEW article that Fox references that are also interesting: (This isn't the whole list, just the political-style ones)

 

http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/12/26/17-striking-findings-from-2017/

 

"A global median of just 22% have confidence in Trump to do the right thing when it comes to international affairs, according to a survey conducted last spring. The image of the U.S. abroad also suffered a decline: Just 49% have a favorable view, down from 64% at the end of Barack Obama’s presidency."

 

"Roughly nine-in-ten Democrats say news media criticism keeps political leaders from doing things that shouldn’t be done, compared with 42% of Republicans ­who say this – the widest gap in Pew Research Center surveys conducted since 1985. This stands in stark contrast to early 2016, when similar shares of Democrats (74%) and Republicans (77%) supported the media’s watchdog role."

 

- That is an impressive drop for Republicans (77% to 42% in 1 year)

 

"Nearly six-in-ten Republicans and Republican leaners (58%) now say colleges have a negative effect. Two years ago, by contrast, 54% of Republicans said colleges were having a positive effect. Democrats and Democratic leaners have consistently held positive views of the effect of colleges on the U.S.; 72% of Democrats and Democratic leaners say this today."

 

"Nearly eight-in-ten Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (78%) say white people benefit at least a fair amount from advantages that blacks do not have. Among Republicans and Republican leaners, 72% say whites do not benefit much or at all from these advantages. An overwhelming majority of blacks (92%) say whites benefit from societal advantages, while just 46% of whites say the same."
