"CNN came out with a poll today that I'm at 100%. They said they have never seen a poll like that."

[Miles Archer]

IT IS NOT A "CNN POLL." IT IS AN NBC NEWS SURVEY OF "SELF-IDENTIFIED MAGA VOTERS."

Trump on troop deployments: I seem to have great support. CNN came out with a poll today that I'm at 100%. They said they have never seen a poll like that. The CNN poll said I'm at 100%.

On Wednesday morning, CNN data analyst Harry Enten took stock of the president’s base of support as the war in Iran entered its third week, intensifying across the Middle East and fueling concerns about global economic fallout.

“Sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you and this is one of those,” Enten said on News Central.

He pointed to the results of a recent NBC News survey, which found that 100 percent of self-identified MAGA voters support the Republican president, while zero disapprove.

1. Whatever Orange Jesus says or does they love...it it really quite amazing.

[C_U_L8R]

2. 100% of people who think Trump is a total moron... think Trump is a total moron.

Nice job, genius.

[spanone]

3. CNN is dead to me.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Trump is dead to me. Of course you realize he was lying.

You can tell he finds CNN to be his greatest threat by his relentless and singular focus on them. So they still, for the time being, have value.

[leftstreet]

4. His people are probably telling him this

He keeps cutting himself off from interaction and engagement. He no longer posts on X, the largest social media site, where he'd at least be exposed to feedback.

His people all seem willing to tell him whatever he wants to hear, so he probably doesn't think he's "making up" the CNN poll story.

[underpants]

17. Yes he's completely insulated.

[wnylib]

31. Hitler's people told him what he wanted to hear, too.

Did not end well for him.

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. Of course, the number of "self-identified MAGA voters" is steadily shrinking...nt

[sop]

6. CNN's Tautological Poll: 100% of Trump's MAGA supporters support whatever Trump does.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. You didn't read? It wasn't CNN. Also it wasn't a poll.

So, ya know 0/2. As ALWAYS TSF is lying.

[dalton99a]

7. "100% of Cult Members Support Cult Leader"

[underpants]

11. Hell, I don't have 100% support of everything I do

[unblock]

8. Also: 100% of swifties support Taylor swift. 100% of trekkers support Star Trek.

[SheltieLover]

9. Supports my contention that deplorables are uneducable

[underpants]

14. My favorite gif on Twitter

[Raven123]

10. Maybe Trump is correct.

I watch very little CNN. I couldn’t say whether or not CNN said he is at %100. I can say with near 100% certainly that CNN has never seen a poll like that. No one has, because it only exists in his mind.

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Not CNN and not even a poll. Does ANYONE bother to read?

Jesus this thread is both revealing and alarming. Nobody is actually reading the information that the OP put together beyond the first line

[Ilikepurple]

36. It seems the unfounded pedantry on these boards is also revealing and alarming

In no way does the article state that the NBC survey is not a poll. CNN data analyst, Harry Enten, seemed okay with calling it “”polling data”. There is nothing in OP’s post to say it wasn’t a poll and it is reasonable to believe it was. One would have to go to specific report about the NBC survey to find out if it was a poll or not. If the info came from the NBC March 2026 Poll, NBC seems to waiver between referring to it as a survey or poll, but I believe it’s part of the monthly survey conducted by Hart Research and Public Opinion Strategies and noted as poll. Admonishing fellow DUers for a nonexistent failure to read the source material is a strange way to react to the comments here . Misreading the survey or poll’s source is definitely happening, but whether CNN funded the poll or not, it’s monetizing the data NBC paid for. I’m not able to find news site that confirms this data was from a survey that wasn’t a poll. So, I’ll leave it with these two sentences from the article that may lead one to believe it was a poll.

President Donald Trump has received unanimous backing from MAGA voters in a new poll — a result that left a television analyst stunned.
…
“Sometimes you look at the polling data and there are numbers that just jump off the screen at you and this is one of those,” Enten said on News Central.

12. Quoting an NBC survey...

... that only included MAGA voters is worthless. That, and five bucks will get you a Caffe Latte, Venti at Starbucks.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. It wasn't even a poll. It was a survey. NOT the same thing

In any way shape or form. Surveys are not scientific and have very limited value. Or in this case, almost none.

[GiqueCee]

24. The word "poll" was repeated in the OP...

... so I went with that. I've since corrected the error. The result, though, was the same, regardless of what we call it. And the price of a latté varies wildly, depending on the market area.

25. Technically, a poll is specific type of survey, e.g. all polls are surveys, not all surveys are polls.

The reason that surveys (specifically, things that are said to be surveys because they don't qualify as polls) are regarded as less reliably predictive of the opinions of entire populations (which I assume is what you mean by "scientific" ) is because respondents are often self-selected, whereas polling inherently involves (among other tenets) specific efforts to choose respondents randomly, strongly increasing their predictive quality afa the whole population is concerned.

Once you, as the survey taker, have to stipulate that "these results reflect the opinions of the people who elected to participate in the survey" you are essentially admitting (to people in the know, at least) that your survey's predictive strength is weak (e.g. as you say, have limited value).

It appears from his response that Donnie Dipshit is not someone who is in the know, though, with a pathological liar, such things can be difficult to determine conclusively

[Ilikepurple]

35. All polls are surveys. That is probably in some way a shape or form.

It’s true that all surveys aren’t polls and that often the word “survey” is used to denote a survey that is not a poll, but it also retains its inclusive meaning in use within the polling community. It obviously had some value or CNN wouldn’t have monetized this one data point.

13. Kim Jong Duhhh

[Johonny]

15. He's like Sex Panther 35 percent of the time

It works everytime.

[riversedge]

16. Trump is a 100% Cruel Nutcase!!

[ForgedCrank]

18. I want

to say that I'm surprised he fell for that BS, but I can't. Not with a straight face anyway

[Wounded Bear]

20. They've never seen it because it doesn't exist...

outside of trump's adderal'd brain.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. trump is delusional

[MW67]

27. Guess the lady in Pennsylvania

Who said she voted 3 times for him and called him a piece of shit isn't part of the 100 percent, Corporate media bs,, believe them at your own peril

[Mister Ed]

28. That NBC survey essentially says 100% of Trump supporters support Trump.

Surprising, eh?

[twodogsbarking]

29. One huindred percent can be one or one billion. Guess he asked Kegsbreath.

[Callie1979]

30. I've seen polls like that. In North Korea.

[pandr32]

32. People who identify as MAGA are only 15-20% of the population.

They are about half of the Republican Party.

[J_William_Ryan]

33. "MAGA gives Trump 100% approval rating in new poll, leaving CNN analyst stunned"

As has already been correctly noted: why would anyone be ‘stunned.’

The Trump Cult is just as reprehensible and wrong as Trump; there’s nothing surprising about blind partisan Republican hacks supporting Trump – indeed, Trump is a product of the GOP.

[Boo1]

34. Those who self identify as the Manson Family

have a 100% approval rating of Charles Manson.
