In the poll from The Washington Post, 47 percent of respondents said “Trump and Republicans in Congress” are “mainly responsible for the federal government partially shutting down,” while 30 percent pinned the blame on “Democrats in Congress” for the shutdown.
In the survey, 66 percent of respondents said they are either “very” or “somewhat” concerned over the shutdown, while 34 percent said they are “not too” or “not at all” concerned.
The Post poll took place Wednesday, featuring 1,010 people and a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

That’s because it is on the republicans.
Just because the Republicans control both houses, and because the Republican president ordered Republicans in the legislature not to even meet to negotiate with the Democrats, and because the Republicans could easily avoid the shutdown by continuing the ACA subsidies that even over half of their own base wants, and because the Republican president was giddy about the possibility of a shutdown, somehow everyone is in a rush to blame Republicans for the shutdown that the Republicans almost unilaterally caused.
