Currently, there are 36 Senate seats to be decided in November 2014, 21 of those now held by members of the Democratic Party and 15 by members of the Republican Party. Polls and other factors led forecasters in early October to predict that the Republicans would win several seats, with most predicting that the party was likely but not certain to win at least the six seats necessary to take control of the Senate.
The elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, elections for governors in states and territories, and many state and local elections will also be held on November 4, 2014.
