About six months out from Election Day, 47% of registered voters say they back the Democratic candidate in their district, 44% back the Republican. A sizable 34% -- including nearly half of independent voters (48%) -- say it doesn't matter which party controls Congress. The Democrats' advantage in the generic ballot dipped from 16 points in February to six points in March to just three points now. Those enthusiastic voters also say by a 10-point margin that the nation would be better off with Democrats in control of Congress than Republicans. By 48% to 43%, registered voters say they would rather back a candidate who opposes Donald Trump than one who supports the President.
