The compilation of all of the national Senate polls is showing a 50-50 tie again. The average showed this several weeks ago but saw a small bump in Democratic polling. Today, the split is again alive and well and Republicans would be just one seat away from a true majority.
Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut may change parties or perhaps Democratic Senator Ben Nelson, who should expect a tough election year in 2012. In any case, the Democrats would see what was once a supermajority which could ram down unpopular bills by going through the filibuster completely disappear.
These results come from the Real Clear Politics Senate map, which allows no toss-ups and either gives a state to one party or another based on the averages of major pollsters. According to this, the races are leaning GOP.
Republican leaning:
Pennsylvania
Washington
Arkansas
Nevada
Colorado
Illinois
Indiana
New Hampshire
Wisconsin
Democrat Leaning:
West Virginia
Connecticut
As you can see the Republicans are back in prime shape. If Raese can pull an upset in West Virginia and the Republicans win all of the aforementioned seats, the Democrats will lose their majority.
Then Obama's veto will come into play.

Can you imagine if Republicans pull off an upset or two? That would mean a majority in the Senate!
