In June 2010, 42 percent of respondents told Gallup that they were conservatives, while 20 percent claimed to be liberals, and 35 percent said they were moderates,” he said. “The nearly even division in partisanship and the conservative tilt in ideology suggest that the current equilibrium in the electorate is far more Republican than the status quo in the House.”

The conservative tilt in American politics has been around 40% for the past 20 years. In fact, that number has been declining ever so slowly ever that same period of time.

Having said that, the Rs could well recapture the House but I don't think any political prognosticator has a true sense of the country's mood at this point.
