The rise of social media usage has led to an increase in people reading misinformation online regarding politics. This study combines an observational study of American National Election Survey data with an experimental design to explore the possible effects of emotions and social media presence on misinformation belief. I found a pattern of less anger the more trust that someone has in their social media platforms for news. This study finds that, while anger is not as good a predictor of misinformation belief as expected, out-group affect is. There is a substantial relationship between the favorability someone has toward the opposing political party and the type of misinformation they are likely to believe in and how strongly. I also found that there is a significant but much smaller than expected relationship between anger and misinformation. This study emphasizes the need for deeper consideration of misinformation topics, partisanship, and emotions regarding misinformation belief as misinformation becomes increasingly accessible and easily spread.
