President Donald Trump was heard telling the press that a CNN poll had given him an approval rating of 100% amid the Iran war but that is incorrect. Trump was speaking to reporters on Friday when he made the claim.
“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%.,” Trump said.
His remarks come at a time when Trump has faced criticism at home over the Iran war which has claimed the lives of at least 13 US troop members thus far, and has driven up gas prices across the nation.
However, Trump’s statement is incorrect because it is not a CNN poll that gave him 100% but rather an NBC poll.
“The CNN poll Trump highlighted (and likely called “100%”) refers to a recent NBC News survey featured on CNN this week (around March 18, 2026). CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten broke it down on air, stunned by the results: 100% approval rating from self-identified MAGA Republicans for President Trump—with 0% disapproval!” one person wrote on X.
This has been reported on by The Independent as well, who mentioned that the unanimous backing from MAGA voters had left the CNN analyst surprised.
