Big Majority Want to Reopen the Government

A new Quinnipiac poll finds American voters support a Democratic proposal to reopen parts of the government that do not involve border security while negotiating funding for a border wall, 63% to 30%.

Every party, gender, education, age and racial group supports this idea except Republicans, who are opposed 52% to 38%.

The GOP is losing the battle as 56% of American voters say President Trump and Republicans in Congress are responsible for the shutdown, while just 36% say Democrats are responsible.
