Close to three in four Americans—including 63 percent of Fox News viewers—say Trump should personally wear a mask to set a good example, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll fielded July 11-14, 2020.
The disparity between Fox viewers and the average US adult carries through to other questions and the poll shows differences in the perception and use of face masks based on which cable news network Americans watch the most. For instance, six in 10 people who said they get their news from cable news and selected Fox News as their primary cable news source (i.e., Fox News viewers) say they wear always wear a mask or do so at least most of the time in public (60% vs. 70% of US adults). An additional 27 percent of Fox News viewers say they sometimes wear mask when leaving their homes and 13 percent say they never wear one.
