Bad sign for Dems that the generic D is polling at the exact % that HRC got. Suggests that Trump is losing support but that those voters are not moving to them.

Nah, Generic D leading Trump by 9% is pretty remarkable. Usually polls include a decent amount of undecideds so that election results often exceed the raw polling margins. Even if you split the undecideds in this poll one third to D and two thirds to Trump/others, the Democrat is still winning by a healthy margin. However: A "generic D" national poll with a relative small sample size three years before the election is pretty meaningless. Right now, it only reflects the president's poor approval ratings. And we're still in his first year. This is the bad news for Trump, but Democrats should not take victory for granted.
