Yes, Hitler did not win an election outright, however in 1932 Hitler received over 11 million votes, it was not enough to win by a longshot but it demonstrated popularity. Further, the mechanisms which empowered Hitler are the same kinds of mechanisms which are employed in the United States political nonsense.
