Supporters of the bill will often point to how Americans overwhelmingly support requiring people to show ID to vote. And the new CBS News-YouGov poll shows 80% support that.

The crux of the “SAVE America Act” is actually different, though; it’s requiring people to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote. Again, support for that is quite strong, at 66% — roughly two-thirds of Americans.

But when the poll asked about the actual piece of legislation, formerly known as the SAVE Act, support wasn’t anywhere close to those numbers. In fact, just 28% supported it, while 31% opposed it.

Even inside the GOP, just 60% said they supported the legislation. Another 6% opposed it, while 34% said they weren’t sure.

This is important because MAGA keep claiming that 80% support the SAVE Act. They don't. High numbers support some kind of voter ID, but not the Save Act -- which requires a proof of citizenship millions don't have.
