The American public has more faith in political satirist and Real Time with Bill Maher on Max presenter Bill Maher than in a number of other prominent media figures, according to a new survey by WPA Intelligence.
Based on the findings of a survey comprising 1,000 participants, with a margin of error of 3.1%, a greater percentage of the nation places trust in Maher than in former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, podcaster Joe Rogan, or CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
Maher, a figure acknowledged by 77% of the nation’s population, enjoys the confidence of 40% of all respondents and 52% of those who indicated familiarity with him.
Although Rogan and Carlson possessed marginally higher name IDs (80% and 81%, respectively) than Maher, they had only cultivated the confidence of a smaller fraction of their audiences and the nation as a whole.
Carlson is trusted by 43% of those who know him well and 35% of respondents, compared to 36% of respondents and 45% of those familiar with Rogan who have confidence in him.
Out of the group, Tapper is the least recognizable; only 53% of the general public claimed to be familiar with his name. Consequently, his trust rating among all respondents was the lowest at 23%; however, his rating was positioned between that of Rogan and Carlson among those who were acquainted with him at 44%.
