This just can't be right!1!!

ETA: I just noticed that this poll is about 'favorability' vs 'unfavorability' rather than 'supporters' per se... But I'll still let my post stand because that kind of speculation just plain cracks me up! Plus, who is to say that all those 'favorables' and 'don't knows' won't soon translate to actual support? I'm betting most will if they haven't already.
