The 92% figure traces only to Calley Means on the Joe Rogan episode and to coverage that repeats his words, with no independent Fabrizio poll record in the sources. The fact-checker pages listed do not address this claim, and the one Fabrizio poll cited (a June 2026 forage-fishing survey) is a different poll.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… They spend double the relative amount on food, but we spend three times more on healthcare. So we've got this real issue: we're eating, we have these incentives for the cheapest possible food riddled with these chemicals, and that was a big issue. You know, Tony Fabrizio did a poll: 92% of Republicans want to regulate pesticides. I mean, this is this is a universal issue and a real mandate for the MAHA movement. When Trump, the President, Trump, during the endorsement ceremony, he he said specifically, "We are going to look into pesticides. We're going to clean up the pesticides." …
The Joe Rogan Experience · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. A transcript of the same episode has Means saying Fabrizio 'got paid by pharma and did a poll saying that it's not a popular issue.' This is the claimant's own account, not an independent record, so it conflicts with the claim without establishing it is false.[3][4][5]
Context. Outlets that cover Means's remarks (Beltway Report, The Federalist, Substack) repeat the 92% figure while citing Means as the source, so they are circular and do not independently corroborate the poll.[6][8][9]
Context. The only Fabrizio poll in the sources is a June 2026 Fabrizio-Ward survey on forage fishing, which does not address pesticides or Republican views on pesticide regulation.[7]
Context. The PolitiFact and Snopes index pages in the sources do not show any fact-check of this claim.[1][2]
