Allure of higher office could hinder House Democrats' midterm hopes

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Trump had won the state in last year's presidential contest.
41% : Golden squeaked to victory last November, winning a fourth term in a district that Trump carried, and Republicans have perennially made him a top target on their pick-up list.
32% : But it's grown in recent weeks with the announced retirements of several sitting senators, and it includes a handful of vulnerable frontliners whose experience and regional branding has given Democrats an edge even in some districts carried by President Trump.
27% : "Donald Trump and the Republicans are crashing the economy in real time and potentially driving us toward a recession," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who's in line to become Speaker if Democrats do take over, told reporters last week in Brooklyn.
