Actually, longer. The NSDAP was a political party, in the US there are no comparable political parties, unlike in Europe. And even there, beliefs are traded for acceptability.
Plus they are counting with their definition which often lobs everyone right of Sanders together as alt-right.

Note the subtle gaslighting in the graph:
The NSDAP was democratically elected, being the largest party in Germany since mid 1932, and Hitler was duly sworn in as Chancellor by President Paul von Hindenburg.
Note also the more blatant gaslighting on Wiki.
Parties in Germany usually don't have absolute majority, since there are many, and have to form coalitions with other parties to get things done. Merkel's party is also a minority. In fact, she had to deal with the prospect of governing without a coalition quite recently. From that article:
Ergo, exactly the same situation. Her party was smaller in the last election, at 32.93% of the popular vote, than the NSDAP at the time, with 37.27% of the votes.
