As we get ever so close to election day 2010, the fate of the balance in the Senate rests upon many key elections. Although the Republicans are expected to gain numerous seats in both the Senate and House of Representatives, Democrats still have hopes of pulling off an upset should many of the close key races go in their favor.

Some of the races which remain too close to call, according to pre-election polls, are those in Nevada, West Virginia, Illinois, and Colorado. These states will play a vital role in the overall scheme of things in the Senate going forward in the second half of Barack Obama’s term as President.

Provided below is a list of recent polls released today in many of these States in which the election is still a toss up:

Colorado Senate – Fox News/POR-Rasmussen Poll – Buck (R) leads Bennet (D) 50-46
