Americans are pointing the finger at President Trump more than congressional Democrats as a partial government shutdown heads into its second week.

In a new The Hill-HarrisX poll released Monday, only 22 percent of registered voters surveyed blamed Democrats for the shutdown, while 42 percent said President Trump was to blame. One-third of voters said that both parties in Congress and the president were all equally responsible.

The government has been shut down since Dec. 22 when President Trump said he would not sign a spending bill that did not provide his requested $5 billion in funding for a border wall. Democrats have offered $1.3 billion for border security.

Normally, each party tries to point the finger at the other over budgetary impasses, but the president complicated that strategy for Republicans during an extraordinary Dec. 11 White House meeting with Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).[/quote]

The best thing for Democrats to do is to let Trump talk as much as possible. He is digging his own grave.[/quote]
