Hillary Clinton is consolidating a substantial lead over Donald Trump less than a month before Election Day, picking up support from women and swing voters as the Republican nominee navigates a roiling sex scandal, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

1. That's enough to put the House in play.

3. Nate Silver says a double-digit lead for Clinton

makes flipping the House a possibility.

We've seen reports of some die-hard Trump supporters — maybe 10% or so — saying they'll vote for him but not down-ballot Republicans, to get back at the establishment. A similar portion of traditional Republicans say they'll do the opposite. The net effect is to diminish R votes up and down by about 10%, which might account for these polls we're seeing. Factor in that nobody wants to wait in line for a loser, and I think we will see strong gains in the House, maybe enough to change control.
