According to the national polls tracked by Real Clear Politics, Trump currently has about 43% of the *Republican* vote - which itself is only about 30% of the *national* vote, meaning that his real support is ~13%. (Most years, about 40% of the country refuses/chooses not to endorse either candidate in the general election for President.)
Ok, Trump is at 38% now vs Clinton and at 37% vs Sanders so it seems like the exposure is having at least a noticeable negative effect... We'll see, the dynamics are interesting to watch.
