The poll is predictably split along party lines, with 87 percent of Republican voters saying the coverage is too negative and just 32 percent of Democrats agreeing.
Among independent voters, 54 percent believe coverage of Trump is too negative.
Fifty-five percent women and 51 percent of African-Americans, two groups that don't normally give high marks to Trump, also told pollsters that coverage is too negative.
Trump has often referred to the media as dishonest, "fake news" and the opposition party as Republicans continue to show less trust in the Fourth Estate.
The Zogby poll comes on the heels of an NPR-PBS Newshour-Marist poll this month that found that 91 percent of Republicans and 93 percent of Trump supporters don't trust the media.
The Zogby nationwide survey of 856 likely voters had a margin of error of 3.4 percentage points."
