I found the Pew poll regarding Russian involvement in the email hack but not one involving direct hacking of tallies. Do you have a link?

I followed the election from a variety of sources (WaPo and NYT included) and never got that impression. But I agree that it was a circus from all angles.

It looks like it was from The Economist and YouGov - I falsely remembered it being Pew. Here's a WaPo article with a summary and a link to the raw data:

Thanks. Yeah, those are some disturbing results...

Do you think it's mostly from misleading mainstream news stories? Or from smaller outlets (social media, celebrities, memes, etc)?

[garanduss]

Misleading mainstream media, IMO. I'm conservative and the headlines about "election hacking" actually duped me until I had the time to read a thorough article about it.

I totally agree with you there. Most online news articles use those annoying click-bait titles and try to make the story seem bigger than it is (in a misleading way). Even weather.com does that crap with weather stories.
