Poll: Americans prefer Democratic position on ending the shutdown by a 2-to-1 margin
(Yahoo News) As the ongoing shutdown of the federal government nears its 30th day, a new Yahoo/YouGov poll shows that nearly twice as many Americans want it to end with Democrats getting their way rather than Republicans.
Only 26% of Americans, meanwhile, approve of how President Trump has been handling the shutdown. A full 65% disapprove.
The survey of 1,770 U.S. adults was conducted from Oct. 23 to 27, as Senate Democrats refused for the 12th and then 13th time to support a Republican-backed funding bill to reopen the government.
