Tom Carper of Delaware Main article: United States Senate election in Delaware, 2012 Two-term Senator Tom Carper was reelected with 70% of the vote in 2006. There have been unconfirmed reports that Carper is suffering from a health problem. Carper has denied it, but has made statements to the effect that he might not run for reelection.[1] Democrat and New Castle County Executive Chris Coons is considered a potential candidate should Carper opt for retirement, and if Coons is not elected to the Class II Senate Seat in 2010, for which he is currently running.[1] Bill Nelson of Florida Main article: United States Senate election in Florida, 2012 Two-term Senator Bill Nelson was reelected with 60% of the vote in 2006.

Appointed Republican Senator George LeMieux, who currently serves with Nelson, and is retiring at the end of his term in 2011, is being discussed as someone who may challenge Nelson in 2012.[2] A poll conducted in July, 2010 showed Nelson leading LeMieux 49-28% with 23% undecided. Nelson also led former Governor Jeb Bush by a smaller margin of 46-44% with 9% undecided and a margin of error of ±3.26% [3] Daniel Akaka of Hawaii Main article: United States Senate election in Hawaii, 2012 Four-term Senator Daniel Akaka was re-elected with 62% of the vote in 2006.

Gov. Michael S. Steele. He will be 69 years old in 2012. According to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted of 569 voters from July 10-12, 2010, in a potential rematch of 2006, Cardin leads Steele 58% to 28%. In a generic matchup, Cardin leads with 51%, to an unknown generic Republican at 33%.[5] Debbie Stabenow of Michigan Main article: United States Senate election in Michigan, 2012 Two-term Senator Debbie Stabenow was re-elected in 2006 with 57% of the vote to 41% for Oakland County Sheriff and former State Senate Majority Leader Michael Bouchard after narrowly defeating Republican incumbent Spencer Abraham in 2000.

Senator Klobuchar's approval ratings, last reported at 59%, have steadily risen since her election in November 2006.

Claire McCaskill of Missouri Main article: United States Senate election in Missouri, 2012 First-term Senator Claire McCaskill was elected with 49.6% of the vote in 2006, defeating then-incumbent Jim Talent.

He will be 71 years old in 2012. Nelson has decided to seek a third term.[11] Pundits and analysts have suggested Nelson will be one of the most vulnerable incumbents in 2012 after he secured deals to exempt Nebraska from new Medicaid payments, ease excise taxes on home state health insurance companies, and broker abortion deals in the Senate healthcare bill.[12] Nebraska Governor David Heineman, Congressmen Lee Terry, Jeff Fortenberry, and Adrian M. Smith, and a wide variety of state officials are mentioned as potential candidates. Heineman has expressed no interest in the seat but would not rule out deciding to run at a later date.[12] A Rasmussen Reports survey conducted on December 28, 2009 has Heineman leading Nelson 61-30, with 4% undecided. The survey also showed that if Nelson were to vote against the health care bill, Heineman leads by a smaller margin of 47-37, with 7% undecided.[13] Bob Menendez of New Jersey Main article: United States Senate election in New Jersey, 2012 First-term Senator Bob Menendez became the first Hispanic Senator to represent New Jersey in January 2006 when Former Senator Jon Corzine appointed him to the office after having resigned to become Governor, following his election to said office in November 2005.
