Why 1896? I wanted over a century of data. Why 1914 for the Senate? That is when Senators were first elected by popular vote. The data is restricted to elected presidents. If a president served two terms, the figures are for their first midterm. For example: Reagan was elected in 1980, the results are for 1982 only and not 1986.
