More Think Shutdown Will Last Less Than Two Weeks

A new YouGov survey found that 41% of Americans think the federal closure will last for two weeks or less. Thirteen percent said they expect the shutdown to last three to four weeks and 9% said they predict at least a month-long closure.

More than a third — 37% — of Americans surveyed, however, said they are not sure how long it will last, resonating with the uncertainty voiced by most lawmakers in Washington.
