It could either be because of lag, particularly now that Trump seems determined to drag the entire party down with him, or it could be because of anticipatory balancing. If it's the latter, that means that despite the absolute dysfunctionality of the GOP right now, voters are still backing GOP candidates as a "check" against Hillary Clinton. That's seriously disheartening if that's what's occurring. It sends the message that the GOP can behave however it wants and not suffer any consequences for it in their congressional majorities. They need to feel the sting of losses in order to reform into something better.
