A new CBS News poll finds 72% of Americans disapprove of shutting down the federal government over differences on the Affordable Care Act while just 25% approve of this action.
“Republicans in Congress receive more of the blame for the shutdown: 44% of Americans blame them, while 35% put more blame on President Obama and the Democrats in Congress. These views are virtually the same as they were last week before the shutdown, when Americans were asked who they would blame if a shutdown occurred.”
