Republican incumbents whose home districts saw heavy casualties in the Iraq War faced a harder re-election in the 2006 U.S. House elections than Democrats. According to a study by Bruce Oppenheimer, professor of political science, and Christian Grose, assistant professor of political science, for every two Iraq war deaths from Republican-controlled districts, there was a 1 percent increase in the Democratic partisan swing. The study was published in Legislative Studies Quarterly.
