Repub- licans tempered Clinton's triumph by holding the Senate and the GOP battled to keep the House, too. Clinton polled strongly in every region for a coast-to-coast victory that made him the first Democratic president re-elected since Franklin Roosevelt. It was a dramatic rebound from the 1994 midterm elections that de- livered Congress to the Republi- cans. "They have affirmed our cause and told us to go forward," Clin- ton said of voters who returned him to office. Still, he acknowl- edged that Americans were bent on splitting the balance of power in Washington. "They are send- ing us a message: Work together," Clinton said. Fireworks erupted after the president addressed a crowd of thousands jamming the streets of Little Rock, Ark. Vice President Al Gore called it a "glorious evening" and Indeed the num- bers were very good for the Democratic ticket. Clinton was on a pace to match if not exceed the 370 electoral votes he won in 1992, and he was close to the majority vote that eluded him in 1992. "I wish him well and I pledge my support," Dole said in con- ceding the race, hushing sup- porters who booed Clinton's name.
