About two-thirds of Americans (66%) feel worn out by the amount of news there is, while far fewer (32%) say they like the amount of news they are getting, according to the survey conducted Oct. 12-Nov. 11, 2019.
Large shares of Americans in both political parties express news fatigue, but the feeling is more common among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Three-quarters of Republicans say they are worn out by the amount of news there is, compared with 59% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. News fatigue is also more widespread among white Americans and U.S. adults who are less engaged with political news.
