Scratching the 'Six-Year Itch'

(CNSNews.com) - Over the past 60 years, the party of the president spending his sixth year in the White House has lost an average of seven Senate seats and 37 House seats as a result of what has been dubbed the "six-year itch." Can you guess which president actually reversed this trend in his second midterm election?

Answer: President Bill Clinton's approval rating was 66 percent going into the 1998 midterm election, which explains why Democrats actually gained five seats in the House and broke even in the Senate.
