Government Shutdown: Blame Tracker
Not sure I agree with their use of the word "marginally". I rather like the way this is heading.
"In the days immediately following the beginning of the federal government shutdown, public opinion on who is responsible for its continuation remains almost evenly split between Congressional Republicans (44%) and Democrats (42%).
However, while the share of blame on President Barack Obama or Congressional Democrats has hardly moved, from 43% on October 2-3 to 42% on October 4-5, blame on Congressional Republicans appears to have increased marginally, from 38% to 44% over the same period.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans who have been affected by the shutdown – which has resulted in the closure of national parks and monuments, the furlough of around 800,000 federal employees, and other disruptions – has been increasing very slightly from 14% to 18%.
We will be watching closely in the coming days for any shifts in public attitude.
This tracker will be updated daily."
