Look to Wisconsin:  A win for Dems would feature a BaldWin and a Walker loss; a loss would be the reverse.  This state could be a barometer for how the nation is going on Election Night.

More generally, from Dem perspective:

House win:  Dems win chamber.
House loss:  GOP keeps chamber.

Senate win:  Dems break even or gain seats.
Senate loss:  Dems lose seats.

Governor win:  Dems win majority of governorships.
Governor loss:  GOP retains majority of governorships.

These could be lofty goals, but then again Trump has a 34% approval rating.  IMO, if the party doesn't get a majority in a certain chamber/group, it's not really a 'win' for the party at the end of the day.  Though I'll grade the Senate on a curve given the unusually tough situation there.
