The 99% figure for MAGA Republicans' 2024 vote for Trump is reported in the sources, but they attribute it to CNN analyst Harry Enten's analysis, and Jake Tapper says it came from a non-CNN poll discussed on CNN, so the claim that a CNN poll found it is contradicted.
Our two reads of who says this, and how, disagree, so it counts as the post's own claim.
What we found
Contradicts. Jake Tapper's post says the 99% figure came from a 'non-CNN poll, discussed on CNN', which undercuts the claim that a CNN poll found it.[1]
Supports. Mediaite (2026-10-29) and The Independent, quoted there, report that CNN's Harry Enten said Trump received 99 percent of the MAGA Republican vote in the 2024 election.[2][3]
Context. Alternet describes the cited poll as 'non-existent' and notes that the 99% figure refers to 2024 votes among MAGA Republicans, not the GOP base as a whole.[4]
Context. Other polls put Trump's approval among all Republicans lower, at 75 to 83 percent, so the 99% figure covers only the MAGA subgroup.[2][4]
