New polling in Washington has moved that state's U.S. Senate race from Leans Democrat to Toss-Up.
Other changes this week came from polling in Alaska, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Current projections suggest that the Democrats would hold 48 seats after Election Day while the Republicans would hold 45. Seven states are in the Toss-Up category (California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Washington. Six of the seven Toss-Ups are seats currently held by Democrats. Ohio is the only exception.
Republicans have the edge in five Democratic-held Senate seats--Arkansas, Indiana, North Dakota, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
At the moment, no Republican-held seats appear headed for the Democratic column.
The state results and overall projections will be updated whenever new polling data justifies a change (to learn how Rasmussen Reports determines its Balance of Power rankings, click here).
