Trump, GOP blamed for shutdown; no crisis seen but fewer oppose wall

A majority of Americans hold Donald Trump and congressional Republicans mainly responsible for the partial federal shutdown, now the longest in history, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Only a quarter back Trump’s claim that there’s a crisis at the southern border and two-thirds oppose him declaring a national emergency to fund a wall there, according to the poll.

At the same time, support for a border wall has increased since the last time border security issues forced the parties into a standoff in January 2018. CONT.
