Did you miss this sentence in the article?
"There were just enough of these willfully “blind” “single issue purity” voters to hand the Democrats 16 of their 36 victories; this figure being derived from the fact that for the want of just 63,000 more votes spread across these races,.."
OTOH, as we all know here at FR, historically, the mid-term election of a President in his second term has been a big loser. Last year we had a perfect storm of

(3) A Republican controlled Congress which did little to earn the votes of Republicans. Other than they aren't democrats.
Hence, loser...
