"As much/many as 33.3 percent respondents claimed they would be voting for him."
I am aware of the difference between much and many, but I got confused between which word to be use in that sentence. I would use 'as many as', but I saw 'as much as' (was) used in an article.
Is "was" necessary in that last sentence?
