Neither chamber of <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> changed hands. </p><p>The party balance in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Senate" title="United States Senate">Senate</a> remained practically unchanged; <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democrats</a> only gained one seat after a Democratic-leaning Independent left the Senate. Democrats won the nationwide popular vote for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> by a margin of 11.8 points and gained 26 seats, cementing their majority in that chamber.<sup id="cite_ref-house1_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-house1-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The House elections took place after the <a href="/wiki/1980_United_States_census" title="1980 United States census">1980 United States census</a> and the subsequent <a href="/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment" title="United States congressional apportionment">Congressional re-apportionment</a>. In the gubernatorial elections, Democrats won a net gain of seven seats. </p><p>The Democratic election gains were largely due to President <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a>'s unpopularity as a result of the deepening <a href="/wiki/Early_1980s_recession_in_the_United_States" title="Early 1980s recession in the United States">1982 recession</a>, which many voters blamed on his economic policies. The Democrats' gains put a check on Reagan's policies, as the incoming Congress (particularly the House) was significantly less open to Reagan's conservative policies. Despite the Democratic electoral gains, this election was the first time that the <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican Party</a> had
