The current 55-45 composition of Senate reflects quite a lot of blown opportunities in 2010 and 2012 for the GOP. It could easily have been around 50-50 even without a change in the national environment if Republicans had nominated better candidates.

If the Senate was 50-50 (but Democratically held due to Biden's tiebreaker), do the races go any differently? Take into consideration how things might have gone a little differently with a smaller Democratic majority.

What if it was was 51-49 and Republicans controlled the Senate since 2013? Since 2011?

Only 23% of "Hard-Pressed Skeptics" know who controls the House and Senate...or maybe they're not buying this whole "majority" concept
