Hitler lost the election for President to Hindenburg in 1932. But in the election on 5th March, 1933, the Nationalist Socialist German Workers party received 43.9% of the vote and 288 seats out of the available 647. Not a majority, but a plurality.
Obviously many of the German people did want the Nazi party, some 43.9% to be precise.

That was a month after he was appointed Chancellor, however.
