Early polls show Trump and GOP taking more blame than Democrats for shutdown​

The national surveys taken in the final days of September and the first day of the shutdown find that voters are more inclined to blame Trump and his party. But many are uncertain.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government is shut down, and Americans are more inclined to blame President Donald Trump and Republicans for it, according to four independent, national polls conducted just before or during the funding lapse.

But there is fluidity in the political fight, as the surveys show a significant share of voters aren't sure who to blame. The shutdown is only in its second day, as Republicans and Democrats sharpen their messages, and it's not clear how long the impasse will last.


 
Shutdowns are rare. However, this is Trump's third. He said a shutdown is due to the president's inability to manage. He said the president is responsible. But he did not say that a president can cause one. That is obviously what he is doing again. This is Trump's shutdown so he can bullly and punish the Federal Employees. He is showing everyone that he can do what he wants. He is the dictator in chief.
 
This is why the messaging war has begun, Trump even has the Government involved, which last I knew violated the Hatch Act, but as we know he ain’t big on laws

Interesting, and sad, phenomena is that by the 2026 midterms all this will be forgotten, few or any people will based their vote on who shut down the Government. Americans have short attention spans, and whatever the issue is next Summer/Fall, plus the state of the economy at that time, will be the decider

Some people interviewed said this shutdown feels different, because there wasn't a vindictive element to earlier shutdowns. Trump seems to want to use this shutdown to permanently fire a significant part of the federal civil service.
 
also nonsense

the algorithm is designed to increase reply - it is mostly click bait bullshit to stir anger. the replies tell a more accurate story
So you actually never knew that Facebook and YouTube track your preferences, and their algorithms then select what you agree with or are interested in?

again - the comments are the true story

users don't get much control of what bullshit is fed at them - and you are an idiot if you think facebook is trying to feed you content you agree with. Most of it is what you don't agree with as you are more likely to reply or provide feedback. We do control the ability to see all the comments

Right-wing crackpots are being tracked, monitored, and directed to the same news feeds you are, so obviously their right-wing comments are going to be over represented in the news feed Facebook algorithms are feeding you.

again - it is about engagement. They don't give a shit if you like it. in fact an angry emoji is a higher engagement rank than a like

so you are wrong. get off the soap box, you know less then I do about technology and social media algorithms - and are a fool to be beating your chest about your bullshit polling

btw - I was more talking about Reddit...but the story is the same. democrats have to lie to defend this shutdown. the discussion in groups is not going the dems way

Your welcome to imagine the news feed Facebook is feeding you is unbiased, and the commenting audience for the type of articles being selected for you are statistically representative of the broader voting electorate.

I didn't say unbiased you dipshit


thanks for again proving you really aren't a quick thinker. You claimed it tailors my feed to what I like. that is false. what I don't like is also based on a pattern
