The Dems are going to have an 8 point majority in the House and maybe 1 in the Senate?
Seems kinda pathetic for a 6 year election (2nd year of a President's 2nd term).
In Reagan's first term, the Democrats won 27+ seats in the 1982 first year election and picked up 1+ in the Senate, which still remained in Republican hands until 1986. In 1986, the Democrats gained 5+ in the House (they kept their majority since 1954) and won back the Senate with a pickup of 8+ seats - this was in Reagan's second term. This year, the Democrats picked up 19+ House seats and +5 Senate seats. So the old mid-term rule seems to be operative again.
