While weekly claims for unemployment fell on Thursday, a private report earlier this week projected the businesses would lose 10,000 jobs for the month. President Obama, under pressure to bolster the sluggish economy with only two months before the mid-term election, is working on new business tax breaks to provide a jolt to the sluggish economy.

Polls have been conducted in a small minority of districts, but there are still plenty to show that Republicans are poised to take control of Congress. (The more competitive districts are most likely to have polls taken in them, of course.)

Here is video of Time’s Mark Halperin talking to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews about his prediction that the GOP could pick up as many as “60 seats” in this Fall’s Midterm Elections.
