As it is looking like the Democrats will lose the majority in the Senate, causing Republicans to control the White House, their strategies need to be stronger and as efficient as possible if they want to keep the Senate majority. The Democrats especially need to defend and win the Senate races in battleground states (Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and North Carolina) in order to achieve this. These seven states in particular are important because they are currently Democratic, but are also toss-ups, meaning the states have a chance of becoming Republican.
Another key point is the Democrats attempting to disassociate themselves with President Obama. Since his approval rating is currently at 41.2%, and he has been heavily criticized, many voters feel as if the Democrats in Congress will end up doing the same things as he did. The Democratic party is already attempting to do this by stating how Obama is 'irrelevant' to their own elections, instead choosing to rely on Bill and Hillary Clinton for support. Hopefully by doing this, they may be able to maintain majority in the Senate, regardless of the grim chances some news networks have predicted (such as the Washington Post's 91% chance of the GOP taking over the Senate).
We just have to wait and vote.
If the democrats want to step up their game they probably need to start showing that they don't support Obama's agendas, because it seems about half of the people in the US do not agree with how Obama is reacting to big situations.
