Latest Polls Say 35% Blame Obama/17% Blame Both Parties/Rest Blame GOP

[TheMastersNemesis]

Only and idiot would not understand that the GOP and teabaggers are the chief architects of this shutdown. Obama would have to agree to complete immediate repeal. Just defunding it would not be enough. The GOP has an entire litany of issues to shut down the government.

6. It's interesting how you presented these poll numbers

44% blame the GOP, but YOU chose to frame it as how many blame Obama.


Furthermore, when you post about a poll, you should post a link. That pretty damn basic.

Who's to blame?
Republicans in Congress receive more of the blame for the shutdown: 44 percent of Americans blame them, while 35 percent put more blame on President Obama and the Democrats in Congress. These views are virtually the same as they were last week before the shutdown, when Americans were asked who they would blame if a shutdown occurred.

When the government shut down back in November 1995, 51 percent of Americans blamed the Republicans in Congress, while 28 blamed President Bill Clinton.

Most Americans want compromise. Majorities think the President and the Democrats in Congress (76 percent) and the Republicans in Congress (78 percent) should compromise in order to come to an agreement on the budget.

But there are some party stalwarts who don't think compromise is the way to go. Thirty-eight percent of Republicans say members of their party in Congress should stick to their positions even if it means not coming to an agreement, while 36 percent of Democrats say that about their party.
