In the United States House of Representatives elections in 1828 the Jacksonians soundly took control of the presidency with Andrew Jackson’s victory and greatly increased their majority in Congress. Outgoing President John Quincy Adams’s unpopularity played a major role in the Jacksonian pick-up as did the perception of the Anti-Jacksonian Party as urban and elitist.
