A year of unprecedented deception: Trump averaged 15 false claims a day in 2018

Fewer than 3 in 10 Americans believe many of his most common false statements, according to a Fact Checker poll from earlier this month

Only among a pool of strong Trump approvers — about 1 in 6 adults in the survey — did large majorities accept several, though not all, of his falsehoods as true.

Similarly, a November Quinnipiac poll found 58 percent of voters saying Trump wasn’t honest, compared to just 36 percent who said he was honest. The same poll found 50 percent saying he is “less honest” than most previous presidents, tying his own record for the highest share of registered voters saying so in Quinnipiac polling.
