Another point to make, is that today's elections are not the same as when Reagan was president. There were a lot of voters who registered as democrats their whole lives but voted for Reagan. Many of those voters are dead or they switched or identify as republicans now.

There is more straight ticket voting now than there has been in two generations. That is why the republicans were panicking about losing both the house and senate just a few weeks ago since so many voters are straight ticket voters now. Since the polls are much better now, republicans should still keep the house, but keeping the senate is going to be a bit iffy.

Perhaps, but if this poll is accurate, compare it to 1980:

1980: Reagan/Carter
Republicans were 85/11
Democrats were 27/67

2016: Trump/Clinton
Republicans are 85/8
Democrats are 11/86

Trump has a way to go to match Reagan's appeal with Democrats. But, the 1980 election was 43/28/23, or D+15.

That kind of imbalance in party affiliation simply isn't going to happen in 2016. So, Trump doesn't need the same level of Democrat crossover.

However, I agree with your comment about Senate control. I haven't looked at what seats are vulnerable, but unless Trump can put those states in play and boost Republican turnout, we could have mixed control of Congress.
