The first presidential debate is Thursday night and a new poll from Issues & Insights suggests Americans are skeptical of CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash’s ability to remain impartial.
They are noted anti-Trump liberals.
Video showcasing a few of Tapper’s more memorable anti-Trump moments went viral on X this week.
SUPERCUT: Jake Tapper, moderator for Thursday’s debate, has compared Trump to Hitler multiple times.

From The Daily Caller:
Around 56% of the Issues & Insights poll voters said they either didn’t approve or were unsure of CNN as the network host for the first presidential debate. The polling gets worse when one looks at the debate hosts Tapper and Bash, both longtime critics of Trump and his supporters.
As one of CNN’s top media personalities, Tapper has used his platform to push the Russian collusion hoax and frequently referenced Adolf Hitler when speaking about Trump or his policies. So it’s not shocking that Americans would have such a low opinion of the elite media stooge. Only 30% of voters gave Tapper a positive score, while 75% voted unsure or unfavorable.
Voters are even more unsure of Bash, the polling shows. She has just a 26% favorability rating, with 73% of voters either unsure or downright pessimistic about the CNN personality. This likely has to do with her consistent attacks on Trump and his supporters on her show. Bash even asked Frank Luntz in 2023, “Who are these people?” still wanting to vote for him after “everything that’s going on that happened on January 6.”
“These people” make up more than half the country, Ms. Bash.
