Polls

Newsweek -   The latest poll from Data for Progress found that nearly six in 10 American voters would blame the GOP or Trump himself for a shutdown—not Democrats.

In total, 32 percent said they would blame Trump, while 27 percent said they would blame Republicans in Congress if the government shuts down. Only 34 percent said they would blame Democrats.

Among independents—a critical voting bloc—30 percent would blame Trump, while 24 percent would blame Congressional Republicans. Thirty-one percent would place blame on Democrats, according to the poll.

 Newsweek -  In the poll released on Tuesday, Trump's approval rating shows 39 percent, with a disapproval rating of 57 percent.  The poll was taken from September 12 to September 15 among 1,567 U.S. adult citizens, with a 3.6 percent margin of error.

"The 39% of Americans who approve of Trump is the lowest share to do so in any weekly Economist / YouGov Poll in Trump's second term," YouGov's Public Relations Lead Allen Houston told Newsweek via email in part.

"The 57% who disapprove is the most to do so in Trump's second term," Houston added.
