They occurred in the middle of President Ronald Reagan's first term,whose popularity was sinking due to economic conditions under the 1982 recession. The President's Republican Party lost seats in the House,which could be viewed as a response to the President's approval at the time. Unlike most midterm election cycles,the number of seats lost—26 seats to the Democratic Party—was a comparatively large swap. It included most of the seats that had been gained the previous election,cementing the Democratic majority. Coincidentally,the number of seats the Democrats picked up (26),was the exact amount the Republicans would have needed to win the House majority. It was the first election held after the 1980 United States redistricting cycle.
