Eighty-three percent of Americans say the spread of misinformation is a major problem. Daily use of social media as a source of information on the government is down 31% since 2019. A quarter of Americans have difficulty understanding fact and opinion with respect to the election.
Those are some of the findings from the 2020 State of the Facts poll. Each year, USAFacts conducts a poll to assess how Americans feel about facts, data, and where that data is sourced. The resulting report, called the State of the Facts poll, provides insights into how Americans agree and disagree on data.
