Clinton 48%
Walker 35%

I just love this match up. Can't believe there was a time when people were saying that Walker would be the most electable Republican.

Very good numbers for Bush, but wait... Donald Trump is doing better than Rubio, Walker and Paul?! Color me skeptical.

Color me surprised.

[Mr. Morden]

Note that this poll gives Trump a 39% favorable / 53% unfavorable rating.  That's among the general electorate, not Republicans.  39% favorable might be his best showing ever (at least this year), in any poll.

Meanwhile, Jeb Bush is 38% / 47%, so not that much better.  Hillary Clinton is 45% / 51%.

Jeez. Is there any politician running for President that America finds favorable?
