New polling indicates that President Donald Trump does not have a winning option to get out of this partial government shutdown, and his position is deteriorating.
Let’s start with the most important fact when it comes to gaming out the shutdown: the President is becoming more unpopular. His net approval rating (approval rating — disapproval rating) in an average of polls before the shutdown was -10 points. It’s now down to -14 points. That may not seem like a big drop but remember this is a president who has had among the most stable approval ratings on record. CONT.
