2010 US Senate Race Electoral Map
Updated 7-27-2010

This map depicts a prediction of the outcome of the 2010 US Senate Races based on betting data from Intrade.com

States where there is no 2010 Senate race are colored gray. States where the Democrat is leading the Republican are colored blue, and red states indicate a Republican lead.

Net pickup: +6 (R)


If the senate race is a tossup, its color will appear white. The more intense the shade of red or blue, the higher probability of a win is being predicted. Intrade participants wager real money on the outcome of each state's senate race. Traders offer contracts for sale, and others bid on those contracts, creating what is known as a "prediction market." This type of forecasting can be even more reliable than polls. This page is updated daily.
