January 3, 2015 should be the start of the new Congress. Congress then will have a majority of 246 Republicans in the House of Representatives (218 is a majority in the House), and 54 Republican senators (51 is a majority in the Senate). Also, "The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) said Thursday the GOP now controls 69 [state] legislative chambers, 32 lieutenant governorships, and 29 secretaries of state."
"Before last night, the all-time Republican high was 64 chambers in 1920."

There will also be 31 Republican governors, and only 17 Democratoid governors. Plus one independent governor, and one "undecided."

I think it is reasonable to say that the Democratic Party is suffering under decided national rebuke.
