Historically Dems do better in Presidential years and Reps do better in midterms. To win the majority this year Republicans need a 6 seat gain. With 7 seats up in states won by Mitt Romney the last presidential election Dems may have a problem.
It's shocking to consider how effectively the public interest is represented when only one-in-three Congress members are at risk of losing their seat to the other party, especially when the incumbent reelection rate has been over 90% for decades.

People hate Congress. But they don't hate their own Congressperson. Big difference.
