*in 2002, due to [[9/11]], Republicans gained 8 seats in the House and 2 in the Senate amid sky-high approval ratings by President [[George W. Bush]] as is common in a crisis.

*in 1998, [[Dem]]s picked up 5 seats in the House (and none in the Senate) during Clinton's second term, partly due to immense losses by his party in the prior elections and the [[liberal media]] promoting him against talk of [[impeachment and removal]].
