Yes, that is precisely what “political coattails” means.

No. There is a legitimate conversation regarding the strength of political coattails and even whether there will be any coattail effect at all. Some presidents have dragged along a lot of other candidates along and some, not so much.
I predict the GOP will retake the house and keep the senate. Just as there are are silent Trump Voters, they will also vote R all the way. The problem for the pollsters is the silent trump voters is they are newly registered voters so there is no history, thus, election day will be good.
