Republican 2016 presidential front-runner Donald Trump has seen his support dip by an alarming 12 percentage points among GOP voters in recent days, marking his largest slide since he vaulted to top of the party's crowded field of candidates four months ago.

According to Yahoo News, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll now finds Trump at 31 percent, compared to a campaign high of 43 percent just six days ago. The slide coincides with controversial comments the bombastic real estate mogul made about Muslims following the deadly Nov. 13 attacks in Paris.

Trump's Fall Tied to Paris Attack Comments?

In the aftermath of 130 people being killed and hundreds more injured, Trump told reporters he would support a proposal requiring all Muslims here in the states to be registered to a special database. Critics have likened the idea to the mandatory registration many Jews were once forced to submit to in Nazi Germany.

More recently, he has also come under fire for seemingly mocking a disabled New York Times reporter by flailing his arms and distorting his speech when speaking of Serge Kovaleski. The drama between the two commenced when Trump sought to defend earlier claims that during the attacks of Sept. 11, he saw "thousands and thousands" of people in New Jersey cheering all the carnage brought on by the collapse of the World Trade Center.

Ben Carson Under Increased Scrutiny

Trump isn't the only GOP favorite to take a recent stumble. After once trailing Trump by just six points in the same poll, Ben Carson now trails him by 16 points after overall support for him dipped to just 15 percent.

Between then and now, the controversial political neophyte has come under increased scrutiny for biographical details in his memoir and criticism for his lack of foreign policy expertise.

Lagging behind the two leaders are Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Texas Senator Ted Cruz, both at just 8 percent. Former Florida Governor and early party favorite Jeb Bush is stuck at just 7 percent.
