one third
In the United States Senate, there are three classes of senators, designated as Class I, Class II, and Class III. These classes are used to stagger the election cycles, ensuring that approximately one-third of the Senate is up for re-election every two years. This system helps maintain continuity within the Senate while allowing for periodic renewal of its membership. Each class has senators from various states, with their terms expiring in different years.
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
