Washington, February 28 (RHC)-- In the United States, a new poll shows that the majority of Americans believe that U.S. President Donald Trump is being criticized by the media too much. 

According to the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Sunday, a growing number of Americans think the country is headed in the right direction under the new president.  Only 41 percent of the people believe the media is covering the Republican president fairly while 51 percent say the media is too critical, the poll showed.
