Because of gerrymandered districts by Republicans after the 2010 census.
You probably don't realize it but 2010 census information wasn't released until December of 2010, and states didn't begin redistricting until mid 2011 into 2012.
In the 2010 midterm election, which took place in November of 2010, Republicans gained over 720 legislative seats, along with 6 seats in the Senate and an additional 63 in the House. Plus 6 governorships.
So almost 800 of 1,030 gains during Obama's tenure took place before your gerrymandering boogeyman even happened.
