A special election was held on January 19, 2010, for a midterm vacancy in Massachusetts. 34 of the November elections were for 6-year terms to the Senate's Class 3, while other 3 were special elections to finish incomplete terms. Those 37 November elections featured 19 incumbent Democrats (7 of whom retired or were defeated in the primary) and 18 incumbent Republicans (8 of whom retired or were defeated in the primary). After the 2008 elections, the Senate was composed of 58 Democrats, 40 Republicans, and 2 independents who caucused with the Democrats. However, in a January 2010 special election, Republicans picked up a seat in Massachusetts thereby reducing Democrats' majority to 57 seats. Republicans won 4 seats held by retiring Democrats and also defeated 2 incumbent Democrats, for a Republican net gain of 6 seats. This was the first time since 1994 that Republicans successfully defended all of their own seats. This was also the fourth consecutive election of Class 3 senators where Democrats failed to gain seats. Despite the Republican gains, the Democrats retained a majority of the Senate with 51 seats plus the 2 Independents who caucused with them, compared to the 47 Republican seats. 2025, this was the last time Republicans won U.S. Senate seats in Illinois and New Hampshire.

These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat. Most election predictors used: "tossup": no advantage "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean" "lean": slight advantage "likely" or "favored": significant, but surmountable, advantage "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory Where a site gives a percentage probability as its primary indicator of expected outcome, the chart below classifies a race as follows: Tossup: 50-55% Tilt: 56-60% Lean: 61-75% Likely: 76-93% Safe: 94-100% Constituency Incumbent 2010 election ratings State Senator LastelectionThe last elections for this group of senators were in 2004, except for those elected in a special election or who were appointed after the resignation or passing of a sitting senator, as noted.

LeMieux, a placeholder who did not run in the election, replaced Martínez in the Senate on September 10, 2009. Crist publicly announced he was running for the seat in mid-2009. When he declared his candidacy, he received many Republican endorsements, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Martínez, and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain. However, his support of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 hurt his popularity among conservatives, and Tea Party candidate Marco Rubio, the former Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, surged in the polls.

Burr was the first incumbent to win re-election for this seat since Sam Ervin's last re-election in 1968.Election 2010: North Carolina Senate, Rasmussen Reports, March 24, 2010. Burr's 54.8% also represented the highest vote share a North Carolina Republican received since the state began directly electing its senators. This Senate seat was unfavorable to incumbents over the past several decades. No person elected to this seat was re-elected since Sam Ervin in 1968. His successor, Democrat Robert Burren Morgan, was defeated for re-election in 1980, along with many other incumbents from his party. His Republican successor, John Porter East, committed suicide in 1986. East's appointed successor, Jim Broyhill, served for just four months, resigning upon his November 1986 election loss to former Democratic Governor Terry Sanford. In 1992, the seat changed hands yet again, as Sanford was defeated by wealthy GOP businessman Lauch Faircloth, who himself lost in his bid for a second term six years later by John Edwards. In 2004, no incumbent was defeated, as Edwards was running for vice president and was not allowed to be on the ballot in both races. However, that year the seat did change parties for the fifth time in a row, with Richard Burr defeating Bill Clinton's onetime Chief of Staff Erskine Bowles.

Republican Governor John Hoeven won the open seat. Incumbent Byron Dorgan never had a difficult time getting elected, as he obtained 59%, 63%, and 68% in his three senate election bids, respectively. However, in December 2009, Rasmussen Reports conducted a hypothetical matchup of Governor John Hoeven against the incumbent. Hoeven led by a large margin, 58% to Dorgan's 36%. 61% of the state still had a favorable view of Dorgan, and if pitted against State Senator Duane Sand, the incumbent led 52% to 37%.2010 North Dakota Senate: Hoeven 58%, Dorgan 36% - Rasmussen Reports http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/north_dakota/2010_north_dakota_senate_hoeven_58_dorgan_36 August 21, 2010 Rasmussenreports.com Hoeven was challenged in the race by North Dakota State Senator Tracy Potter of Bismarck.

Alvin Greene, the Democratic nominee, was the first major-party African-American U.S. Senate candidate in South Carolina since Reconstruction. Alvin Greene's Democratic primary election win and his margin of victory surprised pundits. As of the primary, he had held no public campaign events, raised no money, and did not have a campaign website. A review of the primary election showed that of the state's 46 counties, half had a significant gap between the absentee and primary day ballots. For example, in Lancaster County, Vic Rawl won the absentees with 84 percent, while Greene won primary day by a double-digit margin. Rawl's campaign manager also claimed, "In only two of 88 precincts, do the number of votes Greene got plus the number we got equal the total cast."Catanese David June 11, 2010 Experts review S.C.
