The CBS News/YouGov poll, conducted between Oct. 1 and Oct. 3 among 2,441 adults, found that 39% of respondents believe Trump and congressional Republicans deserve the most blame for the shutdown. Thirty percent of respondents blame Democrats more, and 31% blame both equally.
The poll also found that 52% of respondents disapprove of the way Trump is handling the shutdown. Fifty-two percent also disapprove of the way congressional Republicans are handling it.
Meanwhile, 49% percent of respondents disapprove of the way Democrats in Congress are handling the shutdown.
The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.
No one has any incentive to stop the shutdown. Republicans can use it to gut the government even faster, Democrats can use it to rally people against Republicans, and meanwhile the country collapses.
I don’t see how it ends before the AI bubble pops, and then everyone scrambles to reopen the government as we enter another Great Depression.
Let the states take back authority on policy until the federal branch can sort out its structural issues.
