"About two-thirds of liberal Democrats (66%) trust The New York Times, for example. In comparison, just 10% of conservative Republicans trust the Times [for political and election news]"
Very close to the overall ratings that Gallup found, a little low but trust for political stories should be lower than in general because people understand there's going to be some coloring there.
