About those Shutdown Polls

Timothy Birdnow

I did a Google search to find polls on who would be blamed for a government shutdown. The first four pages were "Republicans" and by mainstream media outlets, and I suspected that was not true.  Google always slants the search results.

Eventually I came across this:

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
NEW QUINNIPIAC POLL: If there’s a government shutdown, who would you blame? 34% say Democrats 32% say Republicans 21% say Trump 6:05 PM - 18 Jan 2018

So the Democrats actually take the most blame here. Interesting, no?

Back on December 8 the public was opposed to shutting down the government for DACA by 55%, according  to Five Thirty Eight the Democratic pollster. Nothing has changed between now and then, so there is no reason to believe that the Republicans will be blamed.

According to the article:

"A new Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health pollshows that just 17 percent of Americans believe that finding a replacement for DACA is an extremely important priority for Congress and President Trump to work on the rest of this year. That ranked 12thamong the 15 domestic issues tested by Harvard. Even among Democrats, only 20 percent said renewing DACA was an extremely important priority."

End excerpt.

So now we are to believe the Republicans are once again going to take it on the chin for actions taken by Democrats, actions taken not for American citizens but against American citizens for illegal aliens. Ri-ight. Why did so many Blue State working class types vote for Trump in the first place?

This is designed to panic the GOP, and get Trump to sign a "clean" DACA bill.
