Looks like a heavy breeze is blowing accross this windy political road with switch backs at every turn…..

The Senate electoral landscape was supposed to favor Republicans, who are defending 10 seats, compared with 23 for Democrats. Democrats now control the Senate 53-47. Republicans must hold all of their seats and pick up four to gain control if President Barack Obama wins a second term. They would need a net three seats if Republican nominee Mitt Romney wins because the vice president casts tie-breaking votes.

Republicans would need to win four of the five Democratic-held seats rated as tossups. They are in Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, Connecticut and Wisconsin.

And this…..

Only twenty-one percent of Americans approved of Congress in October, among the lowest ratings in the final month before a presidential election, according to a Gallup poll released yesterday. In the House, Democrats probably will gain four to 10 seats — far short of the 25 they need to take a majority of the 435 seats, according to the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report in Washington.
