Those are all weak showings for long standing incumbents, expecially anthing below 60%. If there had been better known and better financed primary challengers, four of them would have been defeated, and maybe all six.
But it’s tough to get well known individuals to challenge these entrenched incumbents.
The electorate can blame NOBODY but themselves.

Now the GOP-e will see what we already know.
The Rats have been working behind the scenes to prop up weak GOP Senators to take them out in Nov.
I suspect we will loose 3 seats which should have been sure things.
All thanks to Rove and McCain.
Pro amnesty Tillis (46% in primary) is probably going to lose due to third party vote and Hagan being all over the place on immigration.
Ayotte, McCain, Hoeven and Mark Kirk should be prime targets.
Scott Brown’s well funded campaign against Shaheen will be identical to the Tea Party attacking Ayotte.
Conservatives DeMint(last time he ran), Inhofe, Scott and Risch got 80% or more.
