Wave ballot analysis

See also: Wave elections (1918-2016)

The term wave election is oftentimes used to draw an ballot cycle in which one party makes significant electoral gains. How many seats would Republicans accept had to lose for the 2022 midterm election to be considered a wave ballot?

Ballotpedia examined the results of the 50 ballot cycles that occurred between 1918 and 2016—spanning from President Woodrow Wilson's (D) second midterm in 1918 to Donald Trump's (R) showtime presidential election in 2016. We define moving ridge elections as the 20 percent of elections in that flow resulting in the greatest seat swings against the president's political party.

Applying this definition to U.S. Business firm elections, we plant that Republicans needed to lose 48 seats for 2022 to qualify as a wave election.

The chart beneath shows the number of seats the president's party lost in the eleven U.South. Business firm waves from 1918 to 2016. Click here to read the full report.
