Only 35 Percent Of Americans Still Think Bill O’Reilly Is Trustworthy

The allegations building against Bill O’Reilly are apparently taking a harsh toll on his trustworthiness and favorability among Americans.

Only 35 percent of Americans still find the Fox News host trustworthy, while 21 percent find him “very untrustworthy” and 16 percent find him “somewhat untrustworthy,” according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted this week.

The Huffington Post has teamed up with YouGov to conduct daily opinion polls. You can learn more about this project and take part in YouGov’s nationally representative opinion polling. Data from all HuffPost/YouGov polls can be found here. More details on the poll’s methodology are available here.

Most surveys report a margin of error that represents some, but not all, potential survey errors. YouGov’s reports include a model-based margin of error, which rests on a specific set of statistical assumptions about the selected sample, rather than the standard methodology for random probability sampling. If these assumptions are wrong, the model-based margin of error may also be inaccurate. Click here for a more detailed explanation of the model-based margin of error.
