Senate GOP deeply concerned over Trump effect
By Alexander Bolton - 06/18/16 04:05 PM EDT
Senate Republicans are deeply concerned that Donald Trump will cost them their majority, despite private assurances from leaders that voters opposed to the presumptive GOP presidential nominee will split their ballots.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll published last week shows Trumps unfavorable rating has hit new a high, with 7 out of 10 respondents nationwide viewing him negatively.
One Republican senator facing a competitive re-election said he and his colleagues are very concerned.
Theres deep, deep concern, he added.
Republicans have to defend 24 seats while Democrats only have to protect 10. Six of the vulnerable GOP seats are in states that President Obama won in 2008 and 2012.
Almost every day, Republican senators see new evidence of Trumps lack of mainstream appeal..............................................................
