A majority of Americans blame President Donald Trump more than his Democratic opponents for the ongoing government shutdown, according to two polls released Sunday.
A CNN poll found that 55 percent believe Trump is more responsible for the shutdown than Democrats in Congress. About a third of those surveyed — 32 percent — thought Democrats were more at fault, while 9 percent blamed each side equally.
The partial government shutdown is now in its fourth week, the longest in U. S. history. Nine of 15 cabinet-level departments have been closed since Dec. 22, after Trump refused to sign a stopgap spending bill that didn’t satisfy his demand for at least $5 billion to fund a wall along the southwest border.
