Jason Lange reports for Reuters on how Trump is dragging down the GOP:

Asked which party they would vote for if the congressional elections were held today in what is known as ‌a "generic ⁠ballot" question, 47% of registered voters in the nationwide poll picked Democrats, and 35% chose Republicans. The 12-point Democratic advantage was the widest over the current election cycle and could bolster Democratic hopes of seizing control of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
