The latest update on the 2016 presidential polls has seen some major changes in the numbers of the candidates.
Based on the poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos between Nov. 22 and Nov. 27, both Donald Trump and Ben Carson have seen a drop in their support.
Trump's support was seen down by 12 percentage points, which makes it his most significant dip since he joined the presidential race, the Friday poll results found.
Trump now has 31 percent of support as opposed to the 43 percent from Nov. 22, Reuters reported.
Trump's numbers seemed to have seen the slide after he made some controversial remarks about Muslims shortly after the terrorist attack in Paris last Nov. 13.
According to the report, the real estate mogul told a news reporter that he would require Muslims who live in the United States to register themselves. Trump's critics believe that this move would be similar to Jews who were also required to register during the time of Hitler.
Meanwhile, Trump wasn't the only one who experienced a slide as retired neurosurgeon Carson also saw a drop in his numbers. Carson is still in the second place with 15 percent of the support from Republicans.
After Carson, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas follow, both of them on the third spot with eight percent. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush then comes next with seven percent support.
Over to the Democratic side, Hillary Clinton still wins most of the support. Fifty-one percent of Democratic voters support the former secretary of state, while 42 percent of them are rooting for Bernie Sanders.
Former governor of Maryland Martin O'Malley is far behind with only four percent, a Wednesday (Nov. 25) Quinnipiac University poll revealed, as reported in CNN.
These results did not show significant changes from results of a similar poll released on Oct. 23, the news outlet continued.
Although Clinton got the highest numbers, the poll also found that 47 percent of people surveyed believed Sanders would be the best candidate to handle the U.S. economy, compared to the 42 percent who believed in Clinton.
