The HillDemocrats are within striking distance of retaking the Senate majority in November, while Republicans are facing an increasingly difficult electoral map as President Trumps sagging poll numbers threaten to drag down vulnerable GOP incumbents.
Several recent polls show Democratic challengers leading Republican incumbents in Arizona, North Carolina and Iowa. The GOP is also fending off tough challenges in a handful of other states, including Colorado, Maine and Montana.
Democrats need three or four seats to win the Senate, depending on who wins the White House.
Republicans still appear on track to unseat Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) in Alabama, the only Democratic senator in the Deep South. But in Michigan, one of the states Republicans saw as a potential pick-up opportunity, polls show Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) leading Republican John James.

second base to be safe.
Anyway, the article is positive news.

Expect the highest levels of ratfuckery ever measured on American soil.
This election WILL be tampered with and the only question is whether the methods chosen to steal it are effective enough to beat down a blue tsunami.
