How the president's party has fared in every US midterm since 1946
Original: How the president’s party has fared in every US midterm election since 1946
A new historical review traces the results of every US midterm election from 1946 onward, showing how the president's party has performed across eight decades. The pattern is consistent: the party holding the White House has almost always lost seats in Congress during midterms. With the next midterm election approaching, commentators are revisiting this record to gauge how much ground the current president's party might lose.
Why now: Attention to the upcoming US midterm election is driving interest in the historical pattern of losses for the president's party.
