I think it's actually 6-7%. A 9-10% would be a large majority in the House and probably put the senate in play. IIRC 9-10% is the level where the gerrymandering starts to backfire.

Yes, this is an important year to hold (or at least split) state offices because this term of governors will be the term in which the census is held IIRC.
