The Democrats have the majority with 257 seats, about 60%.
On October 10, 2007: Senate majority floor leader is a Democrat; Senate minority floor leader is a Republican. This may or may not change in the near future. The answer depends on which party held the most seats after the last election; if any senators died in office and were replaced by their home state Governor - who may or may not be from the dead senator's political party; if a senator happens to switch political parties after election (which has hapened).

At the moment, Democrats have the majority in both houses of Congress: the House of Representatives and the Senate. However, because of the recent Republican gains in the November elections, the Republicans will hold a majority in the House once those elected take office in late January of 2011. The Democrats will still hold a majority in the Senate.
If you are asking wich political party is currently in the majority, and thus in control of the Senate - as of November 2011, it is the Democrat Party.
