I'm switching Michigan into Safe D, and South Dakota into Tilt R with Rounds falling apart. The rest remains the same

Senate:

Safe D: HI, NM, OR, NJ, DE, RI, MA, VA
Likely D: IL
Leans D: NH, NC, MN, MI

Safe R: ID, WY, MT, NE, OK(x2), SC(x2), AL, TN, TX
Likely R: ME, WV, MS
Leans R: KY

Pure Toss-Up: IA, AR, CO

Tilt D/I: KS
Tilt R: AK, SD

Goes to runoff: GA, LA (advantage GOP in both)

so the Senate makeup would be 49-47 GOP (+1 Indie Orman) before toss-ups, and if I predict out toss-ups I have it 51-49 advantage GOP, assuming Orman caucuses with Dems.

Likely D: IL
Leans D: NH, NC, MN, MI

Safe R: ID, WY, MT, NE, OK(x2), SC(x2), AL, TN, TX
Likely R: ME, WV, MS
Leans R: KY

Pure Toss-Up: IA, AR, CO

Tilt D/I: KS
Tilt R: AK, SD

Goes to runoff: GA, LA (advantage GOP in both)

so the Senate makeup would be 49-47 GOP (+1 Indie Orman) before toss-ups, and if I predict out toss-ups I have it 51-49 advantage GOP, assuming Orman caucuses with Dems.

Less than 2 weeks away update.

Safe D: HI, NM, OR, NJ, DE, RI, MA, VA
Likely D: IL, MN
Leans D: MI

Safe R: ID, WY, MT, NE, OK(x2), SC(x2), AL, TN, TX
Likely R: ME, WV, MS
Leans R: KY

Pure Toss-Up: IA, CO
Tilt D/I: KS, NH
Tilt R: AK, SD, AR

Goes to runoff: GA, LA (advantage GOP in both)

GOP would theoretically be at 50 (after the LA, and GA runoffs) without needing to win CO or IA... but in order to get Senate control they need to take everything they lean in (GA, LA, AR, SD, AK and KY) plus 1 of CO or IA. Iowa would seem to be a little easier to do.

If Dems lose KS or NH it's over

Projecting out, I have IA going to the GOP and Colorado staying Dem.. so projected senate makeup 51-49 GOP once it is all set and done

10 Days away, this is how I see things

Alabama- The question is what the primary will look like if Shelby retires in 2016. Safe R

Alaska- While Senator Begich is behind, he's far from done yet. One of several states where the National Climate will mean everything. Tossup/Tilt R

Arkansas- While the result may be close, the outcome is not in doubt, Tom Cotton will win this one. Safe R

Colorado- Despite Senator Udall's meltdown, I still think Governor Hickenlooper is more likely to lose. Lean D

Delaware- With no Christine O'Donnell, election night will very boring here Safe D

Georgia- Senator Nunn has won a marvelous campaign, and it's starting to look like she may win a runoff after all. Tossup Tilt/D

Illinois- Senator Durbin's margin will be reduced, but he will still win easily. Safe D

Idaho Safe R

Iowa- This is a race that will be decided by who gaffed least, and where the National mood is going. That probably favors Joni Ernst. Tossup/Tilt R

Kansas The most unpredictable race this far, will Republican Moderates who abandoned Roberts come home? I think they will, and that will put him just over the top.
Tossup/Tilt R

Kentucky- While Alison Grimes has done well, she didn't so enough. An upset is still plausible, but increasingly unlikely Likely R

Louisiana Mary Landrieu is likely toast, but that frees her up for a challenge against Senator Vitter in the 2015 Gubernatorial Race. Likely R/Cassidy

Maine Susan Collins may cross 75% of the vote, which is amazing for a relative moderate in today's day and age. Safe R

Massachussets- Safe D

Michigan Terri Lyn Land has ultimately proven to be the Republican Alison Grimes. Likely D

Minnesota Thankfully, this race will not resemble 2008 at all. Safe D

Mississippi Travis Cochran's primary victory appears to have locked this one up. Safe R

Montana This one's long gone. Safe R

Nebraska Safe R

New Hampshire Scott Brown certainly can win this race, but Senator Shaheen remains the favorite. Lean D

New Jersey Senator Booker is in even less danger than last year. Safe D

New Mexico The other Senator Udall is much safer. Safe D

North Carolina Senator Hagan's in trouble, but she's facing a more unpopular candidate. Advantage Hagan. Tossup/Tilt D

Oklahoma- Both races are Safe R

Oregon No reason for Jeff Merkley to worry.  Safe D

Rhode Island Safe D

South Carolina Both seats are Safe R

South Dakota- Even with Governor Rounds's struggles, this fractured field can only help him. Lean R

Tennessee- Safe R

Texas Safe R

Virginia Senator Warner should survive, but an upset is not impossible. Likely D

West Virginia Natalie Tennant has been a bust, and State Democrats should look forward to being the long-term minority here. Safe R

Wyoming Safe R

Just to test the idea that 538 actually confers any additional knowledge besides that of a typical polling average, I computed a polling average for all the races based on polling data since September 15, calculated the standard error of the mean for each set of data multiplied by 3 (a number determined empirically by calculating the error for the 2010 and 2012 races.) Here is what I gathered:

Republican chance of victory:
Georgia 85%1
Alaska 84%
South Dakota 75-80%2
Iowa 69%
Louisiana 67%2
Arkansas 65%
Kentucky 57%
Colorado 53%
New Hampshire 26%
Kansas 21%
North Carolina 13%


185% chance of plurality on Election Day. Assuming Swafford gets ~3%, there's a 55% chance of a runoff.
295% for Rounds vs Weiland; 80% for Rounds vs Pressler
3There's a 73% chance of a runoff, in which Cassidy would have a 91% chance

The main areas of disagreement seem to be in the Republican-held battlegrounds, where sparse polling data forces greater reliance on fundamentals, it would seem.

Updates:

Colorado 87% (+32)
South Dakota 92% (+12)
Arkansas 83% (+18)
Kentucky 78% (+21)

Iowa 74% (+5)
Louisiana 63% (-4)1

Kansas 50% (+29)
Georgia 48%
(-37)
North Carolina 29% (+16)
New Hampshire 15% (-11)


*Nonpartisan polling has been too sparse in Alaska to make a projection. Thus, I will assume that Sullivan's probability remains 84%

1 70% of runoff, in which Cassidy would have a 90% chance

Putting Colorado as the most likely pick-up is pretty bold, I don't agree at all, but I do think Gardner's chances are very good.
