Trump's lewd comments - is the House in play?

It already was before the comments

Nah. If the Senate is barely in play, then the House certainly isn't.

The senate wasn't "barely" in play, before the comments democrats were the favorites picking this chamber already.

Both 538 and the Upshot gave basically 50/50 odds. And the polls' movement toward Hillary doesn't seem to have translated in Senate races so far.

50/50 odds doesn't mean "barely" at play

True. "Barely in play" would be "Democrats might win IL and WI, and have an outside shot at NH, PA, and IN."

You're right, but still. I'd like to see some polls before we start talking about impending doom for Congressional Republicans (though Tartarus Sauce raises some very good point). For all we know, this could have zero impact.
