Two fairly establishment Republicans are retiring in the wake of the Chaos Caucus Dysfunctional Clown Show. Some of this is simply personal disgust with what the GOP has become, maybe most of it. But if they are seeing polling and fundraising numbers that have them alarmed, that's another reason to retire.
The public polling we see has proven in the last 8 years to be pretty meh. The internal polling is usually more rigorous. So, keep an eye out for more Republican retirements. It could be disgust with the authoritarian cult of Trump, but it could be that they see a tough road ahead and would rather retire than lose.
