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.
This is an expensive distraction.
Johnson literally closed Congress early to avoid a discharge petition on the Epstein files.
Republicans only want one thing and it’s disgusting.
No it actually is, sick fucks.
They want to continue raping children in secrecy
I kind of feel like they’re over doing things in secrecy. I’m pretty sure they’re trying to normalize publicly.
If it’s a distraction from anything, it’s the fascist takeover of American cities.
Get a fucking grip
This is what they’re fighting for:
- Extend the enhanced health insurance premium subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which are due to expire at the end of this year.
- Republicans restore the nearly $1 trillion in the Republican cuts to Medicaid that they put in the “Big Beautiful Deal.”
…and this is what Republicans are fighting against:
Are you going to try to jail them in a blue state? Maybe one that that’s been recently invaded by the National Guard.? You see where I’m going with this? Epstein list is kind of the distraction they want you talking about instead of the fact that by the time you get your hands on it, there will be no one to accuse these pedophiles.
Brother, they’ve completely perverted the justice system and are in total control of it. Who do you think is going to prosecute and arrest the people on that list?
Also:
Forty percent of respondents believe congressional Democrats’ position is not worth having a shutdown over, while 28% believe it’s worth it, according to the poll. And 45% of respondents believe congressional Republicans’ position is not worth having a shutdown over, while 23% believe it’s worth it.
So nobody polled really wants this nor do they think it’s worth it. Cool.
Assuming the 23% and the 28% aren’t overlapping, that makes 51% that think a shut down is woth it if it gets their side what they want.
That seems like a really big assumption here.
30% believe it’s democrats fault are you kidding me??
That sounds about right. I would ballpark the number of MAGA die hards who will believe absolutely everything he says at around 30% of the US. So that’s actually the best I would ever hope for on that front. The part that’s most disappointing to me is the 31% blaming both equally.
30% only get their news from Fox
30% of people will give the dumbest possible answer to any given questions. It’s when it’s as low as 20% that you know it’s right fucken stupid.
Good. I hope they remember this for the midterms. If there will be midterms.
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.
That’s because there’s no one else to blame, unless you’re braindead.
Let’s keep it shutdown.
That only makes it easier for the fascists.
How so? ICE’s coffers won’t be restocked for as long as the shutdown continues.
Yeah I wish people would stop with that talking point. The army and national guard stop getting paid too right? Maybe they will go home
Yep, its all their doing.
I’d genuinely like to see this poll’s results from swing states only

Sigh.
Is it me or gas there been quite a lot more of these “new poll finds” headlines? I mean it’s an interesting fun fact but to write multiple articles about it sounds like spam
Probably a lot of them are referring to different polls since a lot of polls got done right around when the government shutdown. Like, I posted four articles about three different polls in the last week, and the only reason I posted two about one of those polls was because a mod removed the first article I posted about it because they thought it was about a different poll I had already posted (which it wasn’t).
OK. Sure. But then again polls are nice as a reference or as a fun fact. But having this many articles about them seems like spam. It like those “new study finds” headlines. They have no value and no information. I generally don’t see the point, but this uptick is starting to become annoying
