Thursday marks the 30th day of the federal government shutdown and the American public has grown more concerned about the shutdown throughout the month and more disapprove of how Donald Trump is handling the federal government, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
More Americans blame Trump and the Republicans in Congress than the Democrats for the shutdown, the poll finds.
I love how any given political poll shows that 15-20% of people live under a rock and have no perspective of a situation, yet simultaneously claim some degree of political affiliation.
Like, if the #1 pressing issue of the day is a “not sure how I feel about this” situation for you, why do you even bother with pretending to not be entirely apolitical? Were not asking how you feel about a local school district board race where nobody can remember the names of the candidates, or how you feel about the civil war in Sudan. Were talking about the government being shutdown over one single sticking point. If you cant wrap your mind around the “complexity” of that situation then why the fuck are you going out of the way to answer polls? What use are you to a pollster if you dont know how you feel about this basic situation?
It’s still important info, we don’t want to only poll politically active people.
