The poll also indicates that Trump could win the popular vote if the 2016 electorate were to vote a second time.
From Breitbart
The poll comes as Trump looks to finish his first 100 days later this week on a high note, with new legislative initiatives on tax reform and health care. Unlike his predecessors, Trump had no “honeymoon,” with the media and the Demcoratic opposition — a.k.a. “Resistance” — determined to maintain a bitter antagonism from the very first day.
But the “resistance” has its own major problems. Two-thirds (67%) of Americans say that Democrats are out of touch with their concerns, while 62% say the same about Republicans and 58% say that about President Trump himself.
Americans also support Trump’s approach to foreign policy, with a plurality saying that he is dealing with North Korea correctly and a majority approving of the recent missile strikes in Syria.
But it is with his own supporters that Trump is strongest:
As noted, this poll finds no evidence of buyer’s remorse among Trump supporters. Among those who report having voted for him in November, 96 percent today say it was the right thing to do; a mere 2 percent regret it. And if a rerun of the election were held today, the poll indicates even the possibility of a Trump victory in the popular vote among 2016 voters.Trump might win a second version of the 2016 election because while 96% of Trump supporters would vote for him again, only 85% of Hillary Clinton voters say they would do so, “producing a 40-43 percent Clinton-Trump result in this hypothetical re-do among self-reported 2016 voters,” the poll says. Other former Clinton voters would support a third party instead.

Despite the suspicious polls we saw in the fall, I would give this poll a bit more credibility because it comes from the Trump-hating WaPo.

They love him now because he's one of them - a neocon.

I doubt it. Bezos and Trump really dislike each other personally.
WaPo has taken a hard and steady line against Trump other than a few house neocons like Krauthammer who defend him sometimes or George Will who is about the most extreme of the NeverTrumpers. His career nosedived over how shrill he was about Trump to most Republican readers.

Funny but accurate. Trump's brand certainly has showmanship as an element. Trump loves that stuff.
