Most Americans (55%) turn to television as their "main source of news about current events in the U.S. and around the world," and 8% of those say they turn to Fox News. That makes Fox the most popular specific brand name for news.
Beyond Fox and CNN, brand names no longer dominate the news landscape. No more than 1% of Americans say they get their news from MSNBC, ABC, NBC, BBC, or CBS. The non-specific newspaper (6%) and radio (4%) both also lagged well behind the television category.
A further breakdown of the networks in the poll clearly reveals Fox News' strength as the conservative and Republican network of choice. 67% of people who turn to Fox News as their primary source identify as Republican, and that number jumps to 94% if Republican "leaners" are included.
CNN, meanwhile, is where self-described moderates and Democrats turn for news. Of the responders who said CNN was their primary source, 51% were moderate, and 63% at least leaned Democratic.
MSNBC, though, couldn't be further broken down demographically because not enough people said they watch it as their primary source of news.
"With only 1% selecting MSNBC, there weren’t enough cases," Gallup's Lauren Kannry said in an email. "However, most of the story focused on the demographics of broad groups – TV, Internet, Radio and Print news consumers – so in that sense all outlets were covered. Fox and CNN were just the only specific media outlets that had sufficient cases to look at individually."
Here's a better look at the demographic breakdown of those who primarily watch Fox News and CNN:
