A new poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly oppose the Trump Shutdown and will blame Trump and Republicans for it. Republicans control the House, Senate and White House, and their failed leadership is hurting America.<\/p>\n

AMERICANS OPPOSE THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN: Americans oppose the Trump Shutdown by an overwhelming margin.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

USA Today<\/a>: \u201cBy a double-digit margin, 54 percent to 29 percent, those surveyed in a new USA TODAY\/Suffolk University Poll say they oppose the shutdown that President Donald Trump threatened if Congress doesn’t agree to his demand for $5 billion in funding for a border wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TRUMP\u2019S TO BLAME: Americans would blame Trump and Republicans for a shutdown, not Democrats — Trump himself he\u2019d be responsible and that he would not blame Democrats.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

USA Today<\/a>: \u201cBy nearly 2-1, Americans would blame Trump and the Republicans, not congressional Democrats. Forty-three percent would blame the president and the GOP, while 24 percent would hold congressional Democrats responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump<\/a>: \u201cI will be the one to shut it down.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trump to Democrats<\/a>: “I\u2019m not going to blame you for it.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

REPUBLICANS\u2019 FAILED LEADERSHIP: This would be Trump\u2019s third shutdown. Before Trump, no shutdown had occurred when one party controlled the House, Senate and White House since the 1970s.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CBS News<\/a>: \u201cThis would be the third shutdown under Mr. Trump’s presidency, following two very brief shutdowns over the span of one month earlier this year. Before Mr. Trump took office, no shutdown had occurred when one party controlled the House, Senate and White House since the 1970s, when the federal government shut down under Jimmy Carter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
