US House Balance OverTime

US House Balance OverTime

Chart shows the percentage of the United States House of Representatives held by various parties from 1789 until 2004. (as elected in the biennial elections) Occasionally terms are applied in a slightly anachronistic way, such as for Federalists and Democratic-Republicans in the first few years on the Congress, or for Whigs during Jackson's presidency. Notable features include the near absence of minor parties, and the narrowness of the current majority by historical standards.
