Trump has repeatedly claimed that 96 percent of Republicans approve of him. While he does enjoy high levels of support among members of his party, there are no recent polls that show him reaching that level. Last week, a Hill-Harris X poll found he had an 82 percent approval rating among Republicans, down from 91 percent in May.
In addition to attacking Fox, Trump also urged his supporters to change the channel:

Not sure about NewsMax since I haven't seen enough of it, but I knew it was more right-wing trash after a couple minutes of viewing.
They're all over the place now. There's also "America's Voice", "The First" and "Blaze". It's like the conversion of AM radio into right-wing insanity, I fear.

(21,215 posts)For him to say 96% approval among repukes means the repukes are a shrinking number. 63 million are now probably at 40 million. The diehard sheep willing to follow him off the cliff like lemmings.

(65,227 posts)Pew had a recent survey that had people self-identifying as republics at 24.8%.
So, that "support" is 2 out of 9, whole population.

Since his cabinet is all his pets, no 25th.
