This is an excellent resource for finding out current trends in all of the senate races for the upcoming midterm elections.

And here is a state-by-state count. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/2006/senateBalanceofPower.htm

Another fun, stats/poll-oriented site is http://www.electoral-vote.com/ . They tend to have a bit of a leftist following (but then again, I think a good deal of the internet does as well), but they have pretty scientifically sound methods of prediction, so far as I can tell.

Another exceedingly NEAT site: Approval ratings for all 100 senators. Some of note:

#1 - Olympia Snowe - R-ME - 76%
#3 - Barack Obama - D-IL - 72%
#11 - Hilary Clinton - D-NY - 67%
#29 - John McCain - R-AZ - 62%
#30 - Edward Kennedy - D-MA - 61%
#100 - Rick Santorum - R-PA - 38%
