Heavily edited from the story by Jennifer Rubin

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) now has an approval rating of 37 percent with a disapproval rating of 52 percent.
Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly leads appointed incumbent Republican Sen. Martha McSally by nine points.
North Carolina Incumbent Republican Sen. Thom Tillis is in a statistical dead heat in the RCP averages with Democratic challenger Cal Cunningham.
Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) is the underdog in a race against former Democratic governor John Hickenlooper.

Democrats almost certainly won’t win all these races. But with so many races in play and Democrats raising money like gangbusters, their chances of netting enough seats to gain the majority increase substantially. By contrast, there is no Democratic-held seat other than Alabama that is remotely in play. Given Democrats’ fundraising success, Republicans will need to spend money in lots of places and eventually need to decide which candidates to cut off so as to minimize their losses.
