Why hasnt anyone mentioned Reagan after 1982, I mean the Republicans lost 30 seats in the house and they defended far less seats then the Democrats did in 1994 or 2010

Obama due to fact Mitt Romney looked very strong at the time, and we knew he was running. And Obama was the firsy blk president.

But, Clinton's looked bleak as well, but he had another go at it with Perot, that saved his presidency.

I thought Republicans had as much chance of unseating Obama after 2010 as the democrats had a chance of unseating Reagan in 1982

After the 2010 midterm disaster, people could point and say Clinton got blown out in 1994 and then had a comeback in 1996. In 1994 after the Republican wave, Clinton really didn't have that same positive example to rely on. Carter lost in 1978 and then lost in 1980 so that was a bad example for Clinton. My vote would go to Clinton in 1994.

It's going back awhile, but Clinton had the example of Truman winning after '46.

Or Reagan-1982.

Reagan kept the senate in 1982 ala how Obama kept the Senate  in 2010

George W. Bush because of the backlash he faced and opposition by the Democrats, who were gaining popularity points.

The Republicans made gains in both the Senate and House in 2002.  I think after 2002 it was expected Bush would cruise to an easy reelection victory.
