He's parroting Russian state-led polls, which many people in Russia either just hang up because they just don't want to answer, or say what the state wants to hear. You can see how lopsided this becomes, with many people just saying yes because they don't want to be jailed for opposing the government. Even if some people do have the guts to say no, the votes saying yes will overshadow them massively.
And ironically by that guy spreading that poll and notion around, he's spreading Russian propaganda.
