WHY DO WE
GET SO MUCH
WRONG?
Fake news, filter bubbles, post-truth and trust | September 2018 22
Why do people think we’re wrong?
- the majority of people globally put the blame for our misperceptions of
things like immigration levels or crime rates down to politicians misleading us,
closely followed by the media misleading us
- but 43% also see it as partly about our own biases, like our focus on negative
information, misleading us – and this is highest in the US at 57%
- few people think it’s because the figures or wrong or our math skills letting
us down

Politicians mislead people
The media misleads people
People have a biased view of the world, for example, they tend to focus on negative
things or think things are getting worse, or generalise from their own experience
Social media misleads people
It’s often the figures that are wrong, not people’s views
People are bad with numbers so they struggle with trying to estimate things like this
None of these
Don't know
People often get lots of things wrong about their countries and how they’re
changing, for example, what proportion of the population are immigrants, or
whether crime is going up or down. Which of these, if any, do you think are the
biggest reasons for this?

TRUST, LIES
AND KNOWLEDGE
Fake news, filter bubbles, post-truth and trust | September 2018 31
We think trust in politicians is falling and misuse of facts is rising – but also that
our political knowledge is holding up…
- Majority in every country and 64% globally think people trust politicians less than 30
years ago, including 80% in Sweden
- …and 57% think there is more misuse of facts in the media/politics than 30 years ago,
with South Africa and the US most likely to agree
- BUT we’re more evenly split on whether average person in our countries knows more or
less about politics and society than 30 years ago: 30% think we know less, but 39% say
more. And there is wide variation across countries: 66% of South Koreans say they know
more, only 21% in France

MethodologyGLOBAL ADVISOR: FAKE NEWS, FILTER BUBBLES, POST-TRUTH AND TRUST
• These are the findings of a Global Advisor survey into the political mood around the world. In total 19,243 interviews were conducted online between June 22 – July 6 2018 among adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and adults aged 16-64 in all other countries.
• The survey was conducted in 27 countries around the world via the Ipsos Online Panel system. The countries reporting herein are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Chile, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America.
• Between 500 and 1000+ individuals participated on a country by country basis via the Ipsos Online Panel. The sample was 1000+ inAustralia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Spain and the United Stated of America. In all other countries the sample was 500+. The precision of Ipsos online polls is calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5 percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on Ipsos’ use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.
• In countries where internet penetration is approximately 60% or higher the data output generally reflects the overall population. Of the 27 countries surveyed online, 16 yield results that are balanced to reflect the general population: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain and the United States. The 11 remaining countries surveyed – Brazil, China, Chile, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey - have lower levels of internet connectivity and reflect online populations that tend to be more urban and have higher education/income than the general population.
• Where results do not sum to 100, this may be due to computer rounding, multiple responses or the exclusion of don't knows or not stated responses.
• Data are weighted to match the profile of the population.
