Prediction:
The Democratic Party will regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Objective measurement:
Are there more Democratic than Republican representatives in the U.S. House after the 1996 elections?
When:
November 1996
Why:
The unpopularity of the Republican House may or may not lead to Bill Clinton's re-election, but will certainly lead to the Republicans losing control of the House.
Further comments:
http://usinfo.state.gov/topical/rights/law/wfcon4.htm says "The Republican Party retained control of the Senate with an increased majority, and control of the House of Representatives with a reduced majority."
