Polls: Significantly more Americans blame President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown than Democrats

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Like all the moochers in New Orleans?

Is New Orleans an entire state, imbecile?

 

[struth]

So this is all just based on speculation?

The cuts to their subsidies are very real. A lot of people will lose insurance.

All because you hope that their wages are going to shoot up because of “immigrants”.

Haha dembot the subsidies don’t go individuals, the money goes to big insurance companies to bail them out because the cost to insure folks is to high

The subs are set to expire at the end of the year that’s to xiden and the dems setting that expiration date in their inflation law

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.

PBS NPR poll ? No bias or oversampling a certain demographic at all I'm sure.

What you call “subsidies” are making OTHER people pay for other people’s insurance.

Why do you think I was stuck with a $900 a month plan with a $6,000 deductible? It was because the insurance companies had to OVERCHARGE me and millions of others to give $30 a month plans to other people.

And your situation is about to be MUCH worse now, with Obamacare subsidies and Medicaid going away for millions of Americans.

That's why smart people don't vote for Trump and the imbecile MAGA Party.

Yesterday, cut 1/3 of the staff

Reminds me of a joke:

Q: How many people work at your agency?
A: Oh, about half of them.

We’re talking about Democrat moochers in red states. Moron.

No it’s not. First, I got off of Obamacare, thank Gd,

And second, if I didn’t, my costs would go up even MORE to subsidize the people getting a free ride, or close to it.

That’s not how insurance works. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

The ACA is complicated. Insurance plan costs are based on age and smoking status. They don’t charge you more to offer people cheaper plans.

You don’t know what YOU are talking about. Costs were inflated for some people because they had to make uo the difference from giving free plans to others.

I was paying $500 a month for insurance, and for better coverage, before Obamacare. Once I was forced onto Obamacare, my premiums almost doubled and the deductible tripled.

 

[schmidlap]

At least the coordinated Republican lie that Democrats were insisting on health coverage for illegal aliens has been exposed to the satisfaction of all but the hardcore MAGAsouls.

Republicans should just honestly admit that they want to slash $1 trillion in Medicaid funding and allow ACA subsidies to expire.

If ACA enhanced subsidies end, would premiums rise 75%?

In the fight over preventing an Oct. 1 government shutdown, a key point of debate is whether a funding extension should include renewal of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Are Democrats correct that if the subsidies disappear, premiums will rise 75%?

I read this in the WaPo online.

How very *******, "Pro-Life" of them.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The vast majority of them in red states are poor Republican moochers.

Just a fact, simp.

Do you have any statistics on that?
I live in a red state and the all of the poor moochers are in the Democrat congressional districts.
Most poor people vote Democrat.
Most middle class people vote Democrat.

 

[Marener]

You don’t know what YOU are talking about. Costs were inflated for some people because they had to make uo the difference from giving free plans to others.

No, that’s not how it works. They didn’t give out “free plans” to others. That’s ridiculous. Where did you hear that?

 

[kyzr]

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.

I',m saying Hillary had a 99% probability of winning in 20616 according to the polls.
We know how that turned out. Democrats are TOXIC at 19% approval.

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

The Republicans.

Medicaid is a blue state scam.

CBO: Medicaid Spending on Illegal Aliens Has Cost Taxpayers over $16.2 Billion Under Open Border Czar Harris | The U.S. House Committee on the Budget - House Budget Committee

The Official U.S. Congressional website of The Republican Budget Committee

budget.house.gov

CBO estimates that the Biden-Harris Administration’s open border agenda cost federal and state taxpayers more than $16.2 billion to provide Medicaid-funded emergency services to illegal aliens since taking office. This is a staggering increase of 124% compared to the same period under the Trump Administration.

Republicans should just honestly admit that they want to slash $1 trillion in Medicaid funding and allow ACA subsidies to expire.

The ACA subsidies are temporary due to the Covid pandemic.

“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.”

So in other words, 70% of the people in this country are still idiots.

How do you ever expect to go anywhere in life with garbage data? The only people blaming republicans for the Schumer Shutdown are the idiot democrats deliberately shutting down the government hoping to blame the republicans.

At least START with reasonable data:

Medicaid is a blue state scam.

February 19, 2025

A number of the country's most Republican-leaning states have some of the greatest percentage of their population on Medicaid.

While Trump has said that Medicaid would remain "untouched," the prospect of funding cuts to the program would not only impact millions of Americans but also many of his own supporters.

After the Republican budget proposal was released last week, there was widespread concern that it could result in millions of Americans losing access to Medicaid as the program's funding might have been cut by billions of dollars in order to reduce government spending.

MAGA and Medicaid: Which states have highest percentage of beneficiaries?

Louisiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and Arkansas were among 7 states with more than 25 percent of their population on Medicaid.

Wow, they asked 1000 people. What do ya wanna bet the poll was weighted toward democrats. They usually are.

Polls are not really scientific if were being honest.

 

[JimH52]

Early polls show Trump and GOP taking more blame than Democrats for shutdown

The national surveys taken in the final days of September and the first day of the shutdown find that voters are more inclined to blame Trump and his party. But many are uncertain.

www.nbcnews.com

The survey found that independents blamed Trump and Republicans over Democrats by a wide margin of 50% to 22%. And one-third of Republicans were either unsure who to blame (25%) or blamed their party (8%).

Well, the repubs have controll of the WH and Congress. This is the THIRD shutdown trump has presided over. Yup, it seems to be a pattern.
