ABC News' Karen Hua reports on President Donald Trump's push to help Republicans keep control of Congress ahead of the midterms, which are less than a month away.

What the coverage shows

The Los Angeles Times centers the poll result itself, saying fewer California Republicans approve of Trump and linking that to possible GOP midterm trouble. 60 Minutes frames the same broader political moment differently, focusing instead on Trump campaigning in reliably Republican states before the midterms; that extract is the only one to mention his travel pattern. The two outlets converge on the midterm context, but only the Times foregrounds the California poll.
