The poll also found that 52% of respondents disapprove of the way Trump is handling the shutdown. Fifty-two percent also disapprove of the way congressional Republicans are handling it.

Meanwhile, 49% percent of respondents disapprove of the way Democrats in Congress are handling the shutdown.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.

    Probably a lot of them are referring to different polls since a lot of polls got done right around when the government shutdown. Like, I posted four articles about three different polls in the last week, and the only reason I posted two about one of those polls was because a mod removed the first article I posted about it because they thought it was about a different poll I had already posted (which it wasn’t).

      OK. Sure. But then again polls are nice as a reference or as a fun fact. But having this many articles about them seems like spam. It like those “new study finds” headlines. They have no value and no information. I generally don’t see the point, but this uptick is starting to become annoying
