Though I don't have an answer to your question, here is a Wikipedia article addressing the incumbency rate in congress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_stagnation_in_the_United_States It cites about a 90% re-election rate in recent years. I also found an excellent graph of re-election rates in the house and senate over the last 50 years (up to 2006) http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/reelect.php Good luck with your search
