after a few days of political pundits on sunday news shows and morning news shows telling me that dems are now feeling the heat to cave because of some trump press stunt at 3pm in the middle of a saturday (after his primetime attempt didnt even work)...we are getting concrete poll numbers in.

among high quality pollsters...trumps approval averages 37%.

trump is in gw bush territory...before complete economic collapse but after 2 unpopular wars, sky high gas prices, etc.

as far as where americans stand on the shutdown specifically...

as trumps disapproval hits an all time high (for him)...only 28% support shutting the govt down in order to get a wall lol.

americans blame trump for the shutdown by a nearly 2:1 margin over democrats

almost 3/4 of all *republicans* believe trump is at least partly responsible for the shutdown.

the way trump dominates the news cycle every day...and the way the media wittingly or unwittingly promotes his narrative...its hard to tell what people are really thinking about things out there.

but its pretty clear...americans overwhelmingly are viewing this as a crisis of trumps own making.

this shit got trump so flustered that he cant even come up with nicknames anymore.
