Poll finds that people are blaming Trump for the | Political News

A new ballot carried out by the Washington Post discovered that practically half of Americans seemingly blame President Donald Trump and Republicans for the ongoing authorities shutdown, which has now entered its second day.

According to the ballot, which was obtained by The Daily Express U.S., 47% of 1,010 respondents said “Trump and Republicans in Congress” are “mainly responsible for the federal government partially shutting down.” Another 30% blamed the Democrats.

It was reported by the survey that 66% of people surveyed said they are either “very” or “somewhat” involved over the shutdown, while 34% said they are “not too” or “not at all” involved.

According to the data, the ballot befell on Wednesday, that includes 1,010 respondents and had a 3.5% margin of error. The federal authorities formally went into shutdown early Wednesday morning, after both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have been unable to come together and vote on a price range invoice.

It was reported by The Hill that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Wednesday night he had not heard from the White House since a sit-down with Trump and other congressional leaders.”We haven’t heard from the White House since the White House meeting on Monday,” Jeffries said in a assertion.

“The president has been behaving, , considerably erratically and in [an] unconventional fashion in the context of the authorities shutting down,” Jeffries told GWN’s Jake Tapper on The Lead. “Clearly, they wanted to shut the government down, unfortunately.”

Jeffries added that “We’re ready to work together to bring it back open, but to do it in a way where we enact a spending agreement that’s bipartisan, that meets the needs of the American people, while at the same time addresses the Republican health care crisis that is devastating everyday Americans all across the country.” Republicans, however, are telling a different model of occasions.

“I think there are a lot of Democrat people who are looking for a way out. They want an off-ramp here,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said. “There’s a good amount of outreach going on and conversations being held. We’ll see where it goes.”

The ballot comes after President Donald Trump announced he’s assembly with Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought to decide which “Democrat Agencies” he’ll cut on Thursday. The announcement comes a day after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt warned that mass firings across the federal authorities have been “imminent,” with inside sources telling Politico that it might occur “in a day or two.”

It was famous that the assembly will happen as the federal authorities enters its second day of a authorities shutdown, with tens of hundreds pressured to work without pay. “I’ve a assembly today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to decide which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

President Trump wrote that the cuts might either be momentary or everlasting. Earlier this week, congressional Democrats voted against a persevering with decision to fund the authorities, sparking the shutdown.

The Washington Post warned in a Wednesday editorial about the shutdown that Democrats fell for a “trap” laid out by the Trump administration, which the president referenced in his Truth Social post. “I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity,” Trump boasted on Truth Social.

He went on to counsel Democrats secretly needed him to proceed with his austerity measures, cutting federal companies and advantages such as Medicaid, while heeding his mass deportation operation, among other coverage agendas. “[Democrats] are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT,” he added.

Vought is a key architect of the right-wing suppose tank The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. He also has longstanding ties to Vice President J.D. Vance, who has advocated for such widespread federal authorities gutting for years.
