FiveThirtyEight's model, updated Monday, gives the Republicans a 78.1 percent chance of keeping control of the Senate, while giving the Democrats a 21.9 percent chance of gaining control.

These numbers are similar to past weeks and are likely impacted by the fact that 42 of the GOP's seats are not up for election this year, in contrast to 23 of the Democrats' seats not being up for election.
