The new WaPo/abc poll has good news all around for HRC and some interesting info about the Khan

affair.

She's ahead by virtually every measure- leads by 8 points with registered voters (50 t0 42), leads by 7 with likely voters. The poll does a four way race too with Stein and Johnson- HRC gets 45% to Trump's 37% with Johnson pulling in 8% and Stein, 4%.

A lot of her bounce appears to be attributable to the Yammering Yam's attacks on Mr. and Mrs. Khan.

Nearly EVERYONE hated it and it stuck and is sticking.

The poll confirms that Clinton received a larger post-convention bounce than Trump did from his convention. But she appears to have been aided as well by days of controversy that Trump generated with his sharp criticism of a Muslim American family whose son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq in 2004 and who rebuked Trump on the stage of the Democratic convention.

It's the same hard core 22% that still gave Bush a positive approval rating Danascot Aug 2016 #3

Sadly, probably a few in my extended family would fit into that percentage.

... corrected for the 9% who've died off since 2008.
