The Democrats currently control the House of Representatives by eight seats while the Senate is split 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris representing the tie-breaking vote in her role as president of the upper chamber of Congress.A survey poll from Yahoo News/YouGov revealed that Democrats lead over Republicans has been steadily slipping since August when they held six points over Republicans on a generic ballot question that asked respondents who they would vote for in their congressional district.

02:27 GMT 05.11.2022 (Updated: 11:50 GMT 07.11.2022) The president made his prediction on Friday before boarding Air Force One in San Diego. “We’re going to win this time around, I think. I feel really good about our chances,” Biden told reporters, even as his party slipped from their lead over Republicans in recent polls.
United States President Joe Biden told reporters that he is optimistic Democrats will keep control of the House and Senate after the midterm elections on Tuesday, the White House press pool reported.
"I'm optimistic, I really am," Biden said as quoted by the press pool on Friday. "We're going to win this time around, I think. I feel really good about our chances."
“I haven’t been in all the House races, but I think we’re going to keep the Senate and pick up a seat. I think we have a chance to win in the House,” said the president, before he left San Diego for a political fundraiser in Chicago.
