CAMPAIGN 2016

Trump tops national poll with 24 percent of vote . . . Donald Trump surged into the lead for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, with almost twice the support of his closest rival, just as he ignited a new controversy after making disparaging remarks about Sen. John McCain’s Vietnam War service, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Support for Trump fell sharply on the one night that voters were surveyed following those comments. Washington Post

But the fallout may have been an immediate, and possibly fleeting, reaction to the McCain remarks. I don't think it will affect his support much because voters dig Trump's pugnacity and there's little love for McCain, though of course respect for his service.
