Yup. All you need to do is read down to the last paragraph of the article about the poll:

“The share of Republican primary voters who say they view Trump favorably increased since the last tracking poll, to 62 percent from 57 percent,” Wilson wrote. “But the number of registered voters who say they see Trump unfavorably remains high — 52 percent of all voters say they see him in a negative light. That makes Trump both the most popular candidate within the Republican field and the least popular candidate Republicans could nominate for next year’s general election.

bold emphasis mine

It's going to be a hilarious disaster either way. Either he gets all the way to the Republican candidacy and then gets destroyed in the federal election, or he gets far enough that it takes a last ditch effort of the Republican establishment to defeat him, paving the way for him to launch an also hilarious independent campaign that splits the Republican Party and makes this the easiest election ever for the Democrats.
