What's Left of the Democratic Party? Eight years after sweeping Democrats into their largest majorities since 1992, President Barack Obama is leaving office with his party worse for wear. Having lost seats at every level-Congress, states and now the White House-the Democrats who remain have a thin bench and little access to the levers of power Since Obama took office in 2009, Democrats have had a net loss of: 63 394 REPRESENTATIVES SENATORS GOVERNORS STATE LAWMAKERS Every two-term president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has seen his party lose seats down-ballot, but Obama's losses are greater than his modern predecessors'. Since 2009. Democrats have shed 25 percent of their seats in the House, 19 percent in the Senate and 43 percent of their governorships.
