And the republicans in Congress?:
NBC/WSJ poll: Shutdown debate damages GOP
….By a 22-point margin (53 percent to 31 percent), the public blames the Republican Party more for the shutdown than President Barack Obama – a wider margin of blame for the GOP than the party received during the poll during the last shutdown in 1995-96.
Just 24 percent of respondents have a favorable opinion about the GOP, and only 21 percent have a favorable view of the Tea Party, which are both at all-time lows in the history of poll….
….a whopping 70 percent say congressional Republicans are putting politics first….
