This is how dominant Ronald Reagan was; also showcases how terrible Obama was

The chart tracks 2 term presidents from World War 2.
Keep in mind these are total net seats.
Obama lost nearly a thousand seats in statehouses across the country. Dubya as bad as he was being the worst Republican POTUS since Hoover only lost a third of what Obama lost.
Reagan by contrast didn't lose anything and gained six total net seats throughout the eighties. That's impressive as hell and really gives you an idea of how universally revered he was across the country. He was delivering results and made the country richer than it ever was and grew the economy and didn't divide americans.
Outside of the top of the ticket in 2012 with enough of the 2008 coalition turning out to win a second term, Obama was poison for down ballot democrats in every election since 2008 as his policies of Obamaism, the GDP not growing at all, jobs disappearing, and the direction he was taking his party with their fetishization of identity politics in just didn't jive right with a center right country.

That's what happens when you elect someone out of guilt for what others might think of you.

Barry has left the Democrat party in shambles, nationwide.

This is what I believe america is generally as well.
It is where I fall aswell and I can say that before trump came along and pulled the Republican party left a tiny bit I had become disillusioned by politics. The left kept(and still is) going further and further left. The right had kept going farther and farther right. Donald trump saved the Republicans by stopping the social issue dogma that they wouldn't stop on thier own that was killing them.

Him saving them from rolling over every time they were assaulted with PC bullshite is about 10 times more important.

I agree with both of these. Trump not clinging to social issues and saying FU to the PC police is what won.

Interesting stats. Will be interesting to see how Ellison/other is able to make inroads, if at all. People are rightfully pissed.

Damn. This is also why I believe Obama's approval numbers are total fabrications. Unless, of course, it is similar to what I think is the "Trump factor" in polling, where people don't want to admit what they really feel out of being called racist by the left.

Par for the course when you put a very low information Moslem minority in the White House

Reagan is rolling over in his grave because republicans are in bed with the "commies" now.

Those are some telling numbers. Just as telling was America's willingness to elect his VP to succeed him after eight years of Reagan's leadership in the WH.

Not hardly. It's as clear as tap water. Unless that tap water is from Flint, Michigan.

There's no telling him that.
Let him keep running his mouth once he's out. Please.
The fricker is utterly tone deaf.

Ignorance.
On so many levels.

Ahh, here we go...no pun but thanks for clearing up what you're about.

OP
The original post's data is interesting but not quite useful.
We would also need to know how many seats did each start with.
For example.
If the country under Reagan, had primarily democratic control of the state houses, and that control maintained itself throughout his Tenure, then it paints a different picture.
One in which he wouldn't be considered dominate but instead, one in which he maintained the status quo.
