Midterms More or Less quiz: It's Trump v Obama (and Biden, and Bush ...)

Presidents always lose at the midterms. Well, almost always.

Your challenge in today's quiz is to rank past presidential performances based on how badly they were punished at the polls. Or, in only a couple of history-defying cases, how many seats their party actually gained.
