And also see this other poll:
“38% of Americans say Republicans would be most at fault for the shutdown, while 27% would blame Democrats, and 31% believe both parties would be equally to blame.”

Are Democrats or Republicans to blame for the looming government shutdown? Here’s what our poll found

The U.S. federal government is on the verge of its first shutdown in more than six years after last-minute negotiations on a spending bill failed.

If you are stuck in a political message board such as this one full of Republicans like me, repeating “It’s democrats fault”, you may get the wrong impression that the country thinks like this message board. Big mistake. America is not a message board.
Otherwise Trump would’ve beaten Kamala 95% to 5%, which is the approximate conservative versus Liberal breakdown in this board.

It doesn't matter who is to blame for the shutdown.

What matters is who ends up winning after the shutdown is over.

Trump and Republicans will be the winners after the democrats see how many of their pet agencies are cut.

Trump has about 40 more months as president...enjoy!

Its nonsense poll Democrats own the shutdown. Fake polls are the democrats only way to cover up their stupidity. The Wash Post is 100% democrat.

You are only saying it doesn’t matter because you saw these polls. The message board is full of threads blaming Democrats. Obviously it matters a lot to you guys. Don’t change the tune now. Let’s continue to talk about the blame game. Because you’re very interested.

By the way, do you know which party has the majority in every single branch of government right now?

The reason your logic is so faulty is because you're getting your information from places like the WaPo. You're going through life with liberal blinders on and you turned out just like the liberal propagandists wanted you to. This is why you're so obviously frustrated.

I imagine that this is similar to the polling bias on who will win the election in 2016 or 2024. Dem voters have a higher participation rate in all likelihood and bring their skewed bias to the results.

Ultimately, the American taxpayer will benefit as Trump will rightfully decrease your government workforce and save taxpayers hundreds of billions over the next few years while driving private business efficiency.

As usual it will be the people that lose but for so many their entire identity is wrapped up in their politics. It matters none if they get harmed as long as their party "wins" but the reality is, no one is winning.

Trump and Republicans will be the winners after the democrats see how many of their pet agencies are cut.

Those agencies will affect many, right, left and indifferent.

******* PBS?

OP IS A COMMUNIST.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court.

It can only be a Republican shutdown.

I’m going to change my name to Lisa the Liberal. That’ll fool them.

Actually, it might.

They are really dumb.

You're not.

Being a deranged disciple of the MAGA religion and believing Trump can do no wrong is not being a Republican.

You’re nuts. Here’s no such thing as a MAGA religion. There are just Americans who don’t want to force citizens to pay for illegal aliens or force SOME hard-working Americans to pay for health insurance of OTHER Americans.

You people are so stupid and hateful that’s is a shame you get a vote. Thankfully, your libtard nonsense was voted away.

When will the White House make cuts to the White House?
