How historic is the midterm Senate pickup of +3?
Historic, but not the record.
The last President to pick up more than 3 Senate seats was JFK. He picked up 4 in 1962. Nixon picked up a couple. And then everyone else lost seats until George Bush in 2002, and he picked up 1. All other Presidents lost Senate seats during their midterms.
Aside from JFK, whose early demise means we will never know how he would have fared, the other ones in your list are not ones anybody would particularly want to emulate.

The House is a different deal and we don't know the final tally yet. We can see that the World Champion of Losing Seats is Obama at -63 in 2010. Looks like Trump will lose about 35 or so.
Actually it looks like Trump is going to match that "World Champion of Losing Seats" (in the House) - or possibly even take the new title of "Biggest Loser" (in the House). The final numbers are not in yet, but that's the way looking at the moment. So far Trump has lost 32 House seats but there's 34+ still being counted, and the Democrats are ahead in more than 30 of those. That COULD change of course as the final counts are done, but at the moment at least, it's looking REALLY BAD for the GOP in the House - with possibly (probably) the worst mid-term House loss on record.
Yeah, it's a nail-biter here in AZ, but with 99% of the vote counted it looks like a pick-up for the Democrats.
I expect there will likely be a recount though, so we'll have to see.

What part of the 2018 election results are NOT IN YET do you NOT UNDERSTAND?
The Wikipedia list shows what's OFFICIAL SO FAR - not what the TOTAL COUNT WILL BE.
There are well over 30 House seats with ballots still being counted - and the Democrats are ahead in nearly every one of them. This is IN ADDITION to the 32 seats the GOP has OFFICIALLY LOST.
Oh for heavens sake. talk about someone who seems to base their voting and reasoning on gender and race, you are at the top of the line I think. why not vote based on issues?
I do vote on the issues not gender or race. I’m just saying that I’m glad women are finally being elected because we need diversity
