Republicans distance themselves from Trump as polls worsen
Original: Republicans distance from Trump amid polls
Republican lawmakers and candidates are publicly distancing themselves from Donald Trump as polling shows weak numbers for the party heading into upcoming elections. Several figures have skipped campaign appearances with the former president or avoided mentioning him on the trail. Commentators see the moves as a sign of anxiety inside the party that Trump's standing could drag down Republican candidates down the ballot.
Why now: Fresh polling showing weak Republican numbers is prompting party figures to separate themselves from Trump ahead of elections.
