Step 1: Don't mention those poll-numbers, ever. If somebody else mentions them, they are a conspiracy designed to make the GOP look unpopular.

Step 2: The poll-numbers will creep up again for the republicans over time because people forget. Boom, your talking-point:
"Only 52% of Americans say it's a bad thing that the GOP controls the House. Republicans are surging in the polls while Obama's approval numbers look shaky."
