Trumps favorable rating was a crippling 29 percent, with 70 percent of the public saying they have an unfavorable view of him. A majority of adults 56 percent said they have a strongly unfavorable view of him, including one-fifth of Republicans.
70%!

(3,335 posts)When those down ballot candidates start seeing their numbers drop then Trump becomes a problem. The GOP has decided that they can stick with Trump and take their lumps as long as it only costs them the White House. If it looks like it's going to cost them the House or the Senate, (when they see candidates falling by 10 or more points as a result of the Trump affect) then and only then will they feel they have to do something.
