Donald Trump's
unfavorable numbers have soared to 70 percent, but his one-time presidential rival and current supporter Ben Carson doesn't think there's anything he should do to bring that number down.
During an appearance on Fox News Channel's
"The Kelly File" on Thursday, host Megyn Kelly noted that Carson rated high in honesty and trustworthiness.
"Is it possible to advise somebody on how to raise their likability, their favorables? How would you suggest that be done?" Kelly asked Carson.
"Well, first of all, it is interesting, I did have high favorables," Carson said, but noted, "People liked me, but they didn't vote for me. And Trump has horrible numbers, but they vote for him. I don't know that there's a great correlation there."
