"Trump claimed, 'I got one yesterday from CNN. What is the percentage of people in MAGA, which is most of the Republican Party, by the way, that support the president? The number was 100 percent.' This statement misrepresented the NBC poll data."
"He stated, 'But the people understand. The people get it. That's why I got 100 percent in the CNN poll. Can you believe it? A hundred percent.' This claim was based on a misunderstanding of the poll's context."
Trump boasted about a 100% approval rating among MAGA voters based on an NBC poll, misidentifying it as a CNN poll. The NBC poll indicated that 30% of respondents identified as MAGA supporters, with 100% approval from that group. Overall, 44% approved of Trump, while 54% disapproved. Trump exaggerated the poll results during a speech, incorrectly stating that CBS and ABC faced lawsuits for millions, which were settled for lesser amounts. His claims were riddled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations.
