New polling from Reuters/IPSOS shows President Trump's approval rating at just 32%, prompting concerns among Republicans ahead of the midterms. Trump is headed to Texas for the second time this week as anxiety grows about normally red areas becoming competitive. ABC News' Karen Travers reports on how GOP candidates are charting their own course, distancing themselves from the president in an effort to appeal to moderate voters. The dip in approval could signal trouble for the party in key races. As the midterms approach, all eyes are on whether Trump's declining popularity will drag down Republican candidates or if they can successfully separate themselves from his controversies.
