ZeroHedge detailed this theory on Wednesday:
Recent online squabbles and upheavals among MAGA related influencers and politicians might lead a person to believe that the conservative base was beginning to crack. In fact, in less than a year of Trump’s return to the White House an army of web personalities have taken to social media to declare MAGA “dead.”
The latest feud between Trump and libertarian favorite Marjorie Taylor Greene has stirred the soup, but there is a reason why MTG chose to resign and the latest polls explain her decision clearly. Trump’s support among Republicans remains steadfast and MTG had little hope of remaining in office without his backing.
There are no divisions in Trump’s base. In fact, Trump has the strongest continuing support within his base compared to any president in the past 25 years with no deviation or decline in the past 6 months.
It may be possible that Trump’s political adversaries are attempting a Q-Anon-style confidence psyop against the MAGA voter going into the 2026 midterms.
Real polls paint a different picture.
“Harry Enten’s data is derived from an aggregate of independent polling groups including Quinnipiac, AP-NORC, Marquette and Gallup,” ZeroHedge said. “Even though he works for CNN, his analysis has been surprisingly fair and surprisingly untainted by typical far-left bias.  Congressional approval ratings are another matter and remain dismally low (no one likes congress), but Trump is not suffering from the kind of plunge that commentators claim.”
Some social media users disagree with CNN:
Just a friendly reminder that MaGA Republicans can't win elections with their supporters alone; they need independent voters. This is just a feel-good GOP poll. 👇🏼 pic.twitter.com/NbfvufVBrc

Gee, I wonder why?
Also, Trump's job approval rating has fallen to 37%, the lowest of his second term as a result of a decrease among independents. He needs independents. The poorly educated can't see the big picture. pic.twitter.com/EcD903lXeC
Some of the comments on ZeroHedge also tell a very different story:




The Epstein debacle and the feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie and Rand Paul has definitely stirred the pot to say the least.
According to journalist Max Blumenthal, the Republican alliance with Zionism is significantly reducing Trump’s popularity.
