(CNN)In the first national telephone poll since Donald Trump earned rebukes from Republican leaders over his comments about Senator John McCain's military service, the real estate mogul has increased his support among GOP voters and now stands atop the race for the party's nomination.
The new CNN/ORC Poll finds Trump at 18% support among Republicans, with former Florida governor Jeb Bush just behind at 15%, within the poll's margin of error.
They are joined at the top of the pack by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, with 10% support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who are registered to vote. Trump's backing has climbed 6 points since a late-June poll, while support for Bush and Walker has not changed significantly.

Trump’s winning and the establishment, in all of its manifestations, absolutely can’t stand it.
Gee....who’d he elbow? It wasn’t me! Jeb? Did he even find him to get him away from his home Spanish lessons to even bother him?
Like a cannon ball ‘elbowing’ its way through a brick wall.
I think it’s going to be very important for most of the candidates to team up to attack Trump during the debates.
This guy has to be stopped, he will destroy us, I can’t believe so many conservatives are falling for his shitck.
That’s funny. I feel the same about stopping Jeb Bush.....at all costs - whatever it takes.
This was a CNN poll which is always skewed.
A more respected poll a few days ago from ‘The Economist” has him at 28% with the second place holder at 13%.
Winning dirty - why, the man has never even attempted elective politics before, who does he think he is, anyhow?
Yeah, everyone team up against Trump to help Jeb. No thanks.
CNN=LMAO
He's been very successful at tapping into people's anger AND there's a lot to be angry about. He says what people are thinking and does so for a lot of people who feel voiceless.
Can that become a successful campaign strategy and, if it can, how does some govern from that standpoint?
In the past, I would have said no. But who knows anymore?
“I can’t believe so many conservatives are falling for his shitck.”
That’s an unfortunate spelling of schtick, not to mention the condescending notion that you are the smartest boy at the party.
They have about the biggest case of money red-ass one could imagine. They absolutely can’t stand it. They can’t stand it because they can’t refute Trump’s main thrust without using the obfuscating word ‘immigrant’ to hide all the ills these illegals have thrust on us.
Gaffer’s answer to you is what this is about.
Stop ¡Yeb! at all costs.
Trump beats a Bush anyday.
I’m going to vote Cruz in the primary, unless Trump is the only way to stop ¡Yeb!
Heh! That’ll be something these pack of nitwits, excepting Cruz of course, will never be heard saying about Hillary! “She has to be stopped! She will destroy us!”
I know, Trump is making me happy, I must be retarded. Sick of these know it all preachers day in day out. Maybe they are the ones that are stupid if they see Freepers as children.
I dont believe ANY politician that suddenly changes his views on every major issue just before seeking to be elected.
I have no idea why everyone is giving Trump the benefit of the doubt on just about everything.
Trump has been on the wrong side of nearly every issue of importance to conservatives at some point, that’s just a fact.
Sigh.... the republican every single one of them except Ted Cruz are all establishment turds(rino’s) and will be a RINO if elected. Open borders, etc, business as usual for the globalists. No thanks, Trump or Cruz are the only ones worth a shit. If they dont make it its no use voting.
Candidates who support amnesty are far, far more of a threat.
Yeah right. You want a pansy like Linda Graham, or a criminal like Jeb Bush? Trump is bringing important issues to light that the low information voters (like you) aren't aware of.
