Trump Gets Immediately Shut Down by CNN Anchor After Desperate Poll Lie

Donald Trump’s claim to have approval ratings no other president in history has ever bested went up in smoke after CNN anchor Jake Tapper brought receipts. “I’m at, according to CNN, 100 percent approval within the Republican Party,” the president told reporters Tuesday. “I’m at 100 percent approval. Did you see the CNN poll?” he went on. “Nobody talks about it, CNN.
I think the people that did that poll probably got fired. But within the Republican Party and MAGA, which is basically 100 percent of the party I think, but 100 percent.” A lack of discussion on those numbers likely owes to the fact they do not actually exist, as Tapper swiftly pointed out in an X post responding to the president’s comments. “Nope,” the CNN mainstay wrote, attaching a link to the story to which he believes the president was referring. It shows Trump’s support among Republicans plummeted from 90 to 80 percent between March 2025 and March 2026, with “strong support” dropping 64 percent to a miserable 43 percent. The bad news for Trump doesn’t end there. Just 41 percent of poll respondents approved of his performance on immigration, 36 percent on foreign affairs, and 31 percent on the economy
