Independent voters view the Democrats (28%) more positively than the Republicans (23%). Asked which party they would like to see control Congress, voters by a 51% – 40% margin said they would like to see Democrats in charge.

The good news is we're more positive to independents than Republicans and significantly ahead on the who independents want in charge of Congress.
