Democrats Favored to Take Back Senate

First Read: “We’re now just a little more than two months until Decision Day 2016, and here is the downballot reality: Democrats are on track to take back the Senate. It’s not a slam dunk, of course. But in the battle for control of the Senate, you’d rather be the Democrats than the Republicans. Here’s the math: With the GOP holding a 54-46 majority, Democrats need to pick up four Senate seats if they win the White House (because the vice president gets to break a 50-50 tie), and they need five seats if they don’t.”

“So you if you’re the Democrats, you can realistically get to four pickups and control of the Senate, if Clinton wins the presidential race. But Nevada is key here, because a GOP win means Democrats will have to win another seat to win control.”
