Democrats also won the nationwide popular vote for the House of Representatives. Voters wanted the Democrats this election, and instead they get another Republican majority in the House.

They need to make this a key talking point. Even stupid people can understand why this is Inksed up. It would also further erode Boehner's legitimacy at a time when he is already facing an avalanche of trouble on all sides.
Are one-party general elections and unopposed races taken into account for this?
Not only are they not, if you take them into account you likely get a Republican victory:
