Historical perspective for Utah Democrats
Utah Democrats had their best performance in a first-term Democratic presidential mid-term in sixty years.
1950 Truman – Utah Democrats lost a US Senate seat, and eight seats in the legislature (-11 House, +3 Senate)
1962 Kennedy – Utah Democrats lost two Congressional seats, and eight seats in the legislature (-6 House, -2 Senate)
1966 Johnson – Utah Democrats lost one Congressional seat, and 39 seats in the legislature (-29 House, -10 Senate)
1978 Carter – Utah Democrats lost eighteen seats in the legislature (-11 House, -7 Senate)
1994 Clinton – Utah Democrats lost one Congressional seat, and seven seats in the legislature (-6 House, -1 Senate)
2010 Obama – Utah Democrats lost six seats in the legislature (-5 House, -1 Senate)
Here is the record for first-term Republican presidential mid-terms. The result is mixed because of redistricting in 1982 and 2002. (NOTE: There was not likely redistricting in 1952 or 1962 in the modern sense which instead would have taken place in 1956 and 1964.)
1952 Eisenhower – Utah Republicans lost five seats in the legislature (-6 House, +1 Senate)
1970 Nixon – Utah Republicans lost a Congressional seat, and 23 seats in the legislature (-19 House, -4 Senate)
1982 Reagan – Utah Republicans gained three seats in the legislature (+1 House, +2 Senate), Redistricting played a factor
1990 Bush 1 – Utah Republicans lost a Congressional seat, and six seats in the legislature (-3 House, -3 Senate)
2002 Bush 2 – Utah Republicans gained seven seats in the legislature (+5 House, +2 Senate), Redistricting played a factor
