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.

    last democrat president fought for segregated schools and spearheaded crime bills designed to put people away in zoos for the rest of their life and was hugely religious plus loved big oil

    president before that one was republican but worked with democrats notably walz who strongarmed oil pipeline protesters all on Native American land granted by treaties

    the one before him was democrat for two terms who ran on a platform of hope\change but we ended up with private health insurance subsidies and no living wages or anything else

    no point going back further all the same and do not want that high ground or politeness for the United States

      Sure, blame Biden for his single vote in a complex political environment from 50 years ago, and then blame Obama for trying, but not fully accomplishing his agenda against a ferocious Republican Legislature who had openly pledged to wreck his presidency, even if they had to wreck America to do it. Mitch McConnell actually said that, then followed through. But it’s Obama’s fault for not accomplishing EVERYTHING.

      Look, I’m no Democrat, I’ve been an Unaffiliated Independent since I registered to vote in 1977. I don’t like either party. But it is clear that one is trying - poorly, but trying. The other side is clearly, actively, enthusiastically, EVIL. Destroying America is literally entertaining for them.

      The Democrats don’t operate in a vacuum, they are constantly under vicious attack by MAGA, who literally wants to kill them, and EVERYBODY on their side. Stop blaming them for not winning every battle against the evil, cheating MAGAs.

          The ACA that MAGA is trying to kill, for one. Beating Trump in 2020, for another. They’ve had quite a few, but they’ve also taken some losses that were at least partially self-inflicted.
