Trump’s tweets are less read and influential than people may think

A new Public Affairs Council/Morning Consult poll reveals that a majority of Americans have become indifferent toward President Trump's tweets on business, political news and campaign finances practices. Several polls have revealed Americans distrust political news from social media, but now responses show the president is no exception. Overall, the poll of 2,200 adults revealed that people have a cynical attitude toward information on politics and business news. Social media — what used to be a sound marketing strategy to reach people may now backfire. Since 2017, big tech has dropped from first to fourth place in public trust, and the largest percentage decline compared with nine other sectors.
