Briefly Noted…

Poll Analyst Extraordinaire Nate Silver just tweeted the following…

About 25% of Americans identify as Republican. Donald Trump's getting about 25% of that 25% in the polls. Why is this impressive to people?

Well, maybe because it's getting harder and harder to imagine Ben Carson, Jeb Bush or any other G.O.P. candidate getting the nomination. But Silver's right: Trump ain't all that popular and he has some pretty high "unpopular" numbers.
