Democrats need to take 4 or 5 seats to regain control of the senate.
Key races includes:
Nevada
Indiana
Missouri
Pennsylvania
New Hampshire
There's also North Carolina and Illinois. But the latter is looking really good for flipping a seat.

Add Wisconsin in there as well! From this list, I think Wisconsin and Illinois are very strong for Dems. Pennsylvania/Nevada's races are leaning Dem, which puts it at 49 seats for Dems. New Hampshire is a literal coin toss, but I expect NH polls to rebound after this FBI news - and because of a much better New Hampshire Dem ground game. Jason Kander is very close in Missouri, but he'll have to run several points ahead of Hillary for him to pull off a win.
Indiana is probably lost at this point because Evan Bayh screwed up his +10 lead HARD. Examples include being unable to remember his correct Indiana address, being registered as an inactive voter in Indiana, and using taxpayer money to pay for Indy hotel stays (not that much money, but not good optics at all).
