"Republicans who describe themselves as very conservative are more trusting of Trump than of Ryan — 63 to 34 percent — compared to those who describe themselves as conservative or moderate."

Added: Overall, Republicans by a wide margin trust Trump over Ryan to lead the Republican Party:
May 17, 2016, "NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll"

Trump 58%
Ryan 30%

Added: Hillary and Trump only 3 points apart in NBC online poll. Trump leads Hillary among independents:

Among independent voters, Trump leads Hillary 44-36%.
May 17, 2016, "Poll: Clinton holds slim national lead over Trump," MSNBC, by Hannah Hartig, John Lapinski, Stephanie Psyllos
"Attention is now rapidly moving to the hypothetical match-up between
the leading candidates with an emphasis on a Clinton and Trump contest. In
this week’s poll, Americans are nearly split between their choice of
Trump or Clinton; her margin over Trump narrows from 5 points last week
to 3 points this week to 48 percent to 45 percent....
While many people are speculating that Republican voters will ultimately end up supporting Trump, and Democrats will line up behind Clinton, a big question is where independents will place their support. At this moment, independents break for Trump 44 percent to 36 percent....

Comment: The Hill reports Trump v Ryan support among very conservative, conservative, and moderate Republicans. I didn't see this breakdown in either the MSNBC article or the NBC News Survey Monkey Poll linked in the MSNBC article, just the single overall Republican number. Perhaps I missed it or perhaps The Hill has access to more detailed information.
