WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's spokesman caused a political stir this summer when he said Democrats could lose their majority in the House in November. Now he says he doesn't think that will happen.
Press secretary Robert Gibbs tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that Democratic candidates have done, in his words, "a remarkably good job in a tough political environment."
And Gibbs says that it's his view that Democrats will retain control of both the House and the Senate.
The House now has 255 Democrats, 178 Republican, with two vacancies. In the Senate, there are 57 Democrats, 41 Republicans and two independents who usually vote with Democrats.
Gibbs' summer comment was seen by many as an effort to jolt Democratic voters into action.
(This version CORRECTS headlines to indicate spokesman had said Democrats might lose House, not predicting that they would lose House.)

I hope everyone, on the Left and on the Right, would just shut it up for now. The only polls that matter are the ones on November 2nd, not those ones that are paid for by special interests on both sides.
Polls are necessarily NOT for indicating the REAL mood of the people; they are often used to influence people's positions and sway them by creating this repetitive media narrative. Remember a couple of months ago before the primaries when the media narrative was "....polls show that all incumbents are in trouble"? Well, it turned out that more than 90% of incumbents, MOSTLY on the House side, won their primaries with relative ease.
Until the morning of November 3rd, everybody who's making "bold" predictions about how things are going to turn out is only making a noise. emphatico: Blah, blah, blah....!!!!
