Sabato: Initial 2016 Senate ratings

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Good map but in a Democratic year, I definitely see NV switching sides and Portman and Ayotte in a Democratic year or Rubio are ripe for picking, but good map otherwise.

I could definitely see this happening, I thought Portman was initially favored, but we should and must win Ohio and thus win the election if we gonna beat Jeb, and FL would be slightly favored for Rubio because of Jeb homestate status.

We don't have candidates yet, so Dems are favored to net gain seats. AK, OH, NC and FL fall in the same category as lean G O P but can be competitive, if Hilary tops 280 electoral votes like Obama did.  But otherwise NH, not OHIO, is our tipping point state for control of Senate.
