President Donald Trump has garnered absolute support from MAGA voters, a recent poll indicates, leaving analysts momentarily speechless.
On Wednesday, CNN analyst Harry Enten examined the president's unwavering base as the conflict in Iran escalated into its third week, raising alarms about potential global economic repercussions.
“Certain polling figures leap off the screen, and this is one of those instances,” Enten remarked during a segment on News Central.
The NBC News survey revealed that a striking 100 percent of self-identified MAGA voters express approval for the Republican president, with no dissenters in sight.
“You don’t need to be a math whiz to realize that you can’t exceed one hundred percent,” he noted, likening Trump’s support to “the undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins,” who claimed the Super Bowl title that year.
“While some Republicans may harbor disapproval towards Donald John Trump, they do not belong to the Make America Great Again movement,” Enten clarified. “The crux of the matter is this: if you identify as MAGA, you stand behind Donald Trump.”
CNN anchor Sara Sidner highlighted that several prominent online personalities have criticized the 79-year-old president regarding the ongoing war in Iran, contrasting it with his campaign promise to end foreign conflicts and embody the “candidate of peace.”
She likely referenced podcast host Tucker Carlson, who labeled Trump’s military actions as “absolutely disgusting and evil.” Other notable conservatives, including media figure Megyn Kelly and former Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have also voiced strong opposition to the new Middle Eastern conflict.
“Is there any indication that MAGA supporters might be drifting away as we approach 2024?” Sidner inquired.
Enten dismissed this notion, pointing to the poll data showing that 30 percent of Americans now identify as MAGA supporters, an increase from 28 percent in November 2024.
“The theme of this discussion is Tucker Carlson be darned,” he quipped.
“That 100% approval among MAGA GOP isn’t a sign of a shrinking base,” he elaborated. “It merely reflects the strength of Donald Trump’s hold over that MAGA constituency.”
Enten further observed that 90 percent of MAGA voters endorse Trump’s military actions in Iran, while only 5 percent express disapproval.
However, despite the solid backing from his core supporters, broader public sentiment remains tepid. A Quinnipiac survey released on March 9 revealed that 57 percent of Americans disapprove of Trump, with the same percentage disapproving of his management of “the situation in Iran.”
