Just poll independents and you will find most of them regret voting for Obama.
We are on an inevitable march over the socialist cliff. Winning a small majority in the senate this year is not going to change the vector of that march.
If the Republicans articulated a national unifying message across all Senate campaigns, things would be different. However, McConnell didn't do that in 2012 and he's not doing it now.
This pattern is exactly what happened in 2012. Republicans were poised to pick up 7 seats before the conventions, and ended up losing 2 seats on election day because nobody tried to unify and nationalize the Senate races, and McConnell was AWOL between September and November.

of course its rigged but the GOP has fielded a bunch of RINO candidates too, that will their chances too

Yes, but most of those critical independents will stay home because the GOP Establishment turns them off as badly as Obama does.
Just as in the Presidential Election of 2012, the republicans electing a president from their party should have been a cakewalk for them. But no, they had to go with Romney who caused a lot of people to stay home.
Another thing to consider is that while generic national preference polls tend to favor a GOP wave, the state specific polls show something different: competitive races, especially so now that the candidates are in place. There is widespread dissatisfaction with Obama, but the last time I checked he was not on any ballot.
Money, unions going door to door during the hours they were supposed to be at their government jobs.
Millions of dollars thrown by Democrats against Republicans because those attached to government have so much to lose.
They can lose overpayment of wages, benefits or their endless social safety net.
This shows that hard-core “blue” states will never leave their liberalism.
They're not being asked to vote for Obama this time around.
