Pollsters are all over the potential government shutdown. Polls show "the American people" have plenty of confusion and doubt about Obamacare but are in no mood to defund it. And everyone hates Congress, now more than ever. This is HuffPollster for Monday, September 30, 2013.
GOV'T SHUTDOWN POLLING - Pollsters have turned their attention to the budget confrontation in Washington the seemingly inevitable government shutdown. Here is a summary of their findings.
Post/ABC - Scott Clement: “On the eve of a government shutdown, Americans disapprove of all players in Washington’s latest budget standoff in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, although they save particularly ire for Republicans handling of the fight to fund the government beyond midnight. Barely one in four (26 percent) approve of congressional Republicans’ handling of budget negotiations, while 34 percent approve of Democratic counterparts and 41 percent approve of Obama. In each case, larger numbers say they “disapprove” of how Republicans, Democrats and Obama are handling things. Underscoring the disgruntled mood, 27 percent of Americans disapprove of all three. The poll shows a stronger hand for Obama than a Post-ABC poll earlier this month where similar numbers said they trust Obama (43 percent) and congressional Republicans (40 percent) to better handle negotiations over the federal budget.” [WaPost]
