Just so I know how to vote, are you asking how many seats the GOP will end up with after the election? Otherwise, the poll would be asking for the impossible, as there is not 50 senate races this year. If so, the current votes are way off. The GOP will have at least 36, most likely more than 40. The betting line on the GOP having less than 40 seats is 10-1. I look for the Dems to pick up 5-9 seats, which would put the GOP at 40-44 seats. The GOP will do everything they can to keep their number 41 or greater, as 41 is needed to keep the filibuster assuming a party line vote.

Poll results are skewed, in my opinion. We don't have the option to say that they'll lose seats in November. I put 0-20, because that was the least amount.

Could you change the poll options?

Id say they are headed towards losing 6 or so seats, leaving them around 43. So thats what I went with, but if this poll is asking how many new seats they will pick up from the 49 they have... its definitely in the negative.
