I can't seem to find an answer. As much as I'd like to be wrong, Democrats won't hold the House based on this alone. While the majority on the Republicans may not be as much as folks were believing earlier this year. well, all you need is 1 more than the other party.
in the 2002 election, R's went from a 9 seat majority (which perhaps is where you come up with 8 as some rational qualifier) to a 24 seat majority
Yes, the 2002 election is the only recent election in which the party in power gained seats. The party in power almost always loses seats, and polling indicates that this year will be no exception.
