If the elections for Congress were held today, 48% of likely U.S. voters say they would vote for the Republican candidate, while 39% say they would vote for the Democrat.

The party that holds a majority in the House controls the agenda in the House. The same goes for the Senate. Right now, Democrats have a slim lead in the House. The Senate is split 50-50 but the Vice President, a Democrat, is the tie-breaker, meaning Democrats technically are in the majority.
