Poll: Trump Wall Not Worth Trump Shutdown


Despite the efforts of both-siders in the media to blame Dems for the Trump government shutdown (see post below), a new CBS News poll out this morning shows 71% of Americans don't think the vanity wall fantasized by demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump is worth holding government workers hostage. By a large majority (66%), Americans want Rump to agree to a budget without wall funding, and 60% believe the shutdown is causing serious problems to the economy.

As for Rump's approval ratings, he now stands at a low of 36% approval, with 59% disapproving of his job performance. Also, the poll reveals that among Rethuglicans, 40% disapprove of the job hunan/turtle hybrid and reactionary Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell is doing. The resolution is simple: Open. The. Government.

BONUS:  Polls just out by Politico/ Morning Consult and Public Policy Polling show very similar results.  In the Politico/ Morning Consult poll, only 7 percent of voters said that they support dedicating funding to a border wall if it was the only way to end the government shutdown.
