The reason why the Dems are likely going to lose the senate is that none of the normal democratic voters actually show up. On Bill Maher's show he or Nancy Pelosi (whom he was interviewing at the time) said that 50% of voters don't even know there's an election this November.

In a lot of cases the only people that show up are republicans. That's why the Republicans want to dissuade turn out in any way possible because that's the only way they can win.

The house and senate should be in democratic hands right now, the house had more than 1.5 million more votes for the dems than the republicans, but jerrymandering screwed that as well. The most important thing is to have Democratic Governors as they'll be able to redistrict things more evenly so that way you don't get weird squiggle districts that make sure that it's guaranteed to be a republican seat.
