Down ballot races bending toward Democrats

In the wake of this last debate, and Trump's behavior, we now see the electorate giving Clinton an 11% point advantage over Trump (49-38).

Even more, we see the down ballot races bending Democratic. Now 49% of the people say they would like to see the Democrats take over both the Houses of Congress, versus 42% of the people who want Republicans to retain control of both Houses of Congress.

Could it be?? We are seeing a lot of senate and congressional Republican candidates now disassociating themselves from Trump. Clearly, he has alienated evangelical Christians with his dirty talk. Throw in women (52% of the electorate) who now see Trump in sexual predator terms, and the guy is bleeding votes.

It's important to note that polling moves much more slowly than the news. Only today are pollsters getting to ask voters how they feel about the Trump tape and last night's debate, and we won't see how it's affected the election until mid-week at the earliest.
