Figure 3. Consumption of untrustworthy conservative websites by CRT score and candidate preference.
Means and 95% confidence intervals calculated using survey weights for October 7–November 14, 2016 among YouGov Pulse panel members who supported Clinton or Trump (N = 772 for binary exposure measure; N = 711 for information diet). The denominator for information consumption includes total exposure to those sites as well as the number of pages visited on websites classified as focusing on hard news topics (excluding Amazon, Twitter, and YouTube). Respondents who did not visit any of these sites are excluded from the information diet graph. “Medium” and “high” CRT scores indicate respondents who got one or more than one question correct on the Cognitive Reflection Test (22% and 20%, respectively).
