A new Washington Post-ABC News poll reveals that The Donald is winning over someone, somewhere in America. In fact, lots of someones.
Since Trump announced his run for president last month, his favorability numbers have improved — to the extent that they are nearly as good as frontrunner Jeb Bush's. Trump lags behind Bush by only six points, garnering a favorable view from 57 percent of Republicans, compared to 40 percent with an unfavorable view. This is a complete reversal from just a month ago, when 65 percent of Republicans viewed Trump unfavorably.
