Americans fault Trump for chaotic government shutdown, as more believe US is ‘on the wrong track’: NBC-WSJ poll

PUBLISHED 30 MIN AGO

KEY POINTS

An NBC-Wall Street Journal poll showed that by 63 percent to 28 percent , a margin greater than two to one, Americans believe the country is “off on the wrong track” rather than “headed in the right direction.”

By a 50 percent to 37 percent margin, Americans blame President Donald Trump, rather than Democrats in Congress.

The government shutdown that just ended has deepened Americans’ discontent with the state of the nation--and they place the blame primarily on President Donald Trump, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Sunday showed.

The poll’s results showed that by 63 percent to 28 percent , a margin greater than two to one, Americans believe the country is “off on the wrong track” rather than “headed in the right direction.” That’s significantly worse than the 56 percent to 33 percent finding from the December NBC/WSJ poll, taken before the shutdown.

And by 50 percent to 37 percent, Americans blame Trump, rather than Democrats in Congress, for the debacle. That result reflects their disagreement with his stance on the issue that caused it.

luralities disapprove the president’s handling of border security and immigration issues, and say would-be immigrants across the southern border with Mexico would strengthen rather than weaken America. A 52 percent majority opposes construction of a wall or fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, while 45 percent favor it.

About hurting federal workers again , or by promoting a wall the overwhelming majority are against , and is a costly wall he promised mexico would pay for. Remember he said "we need a good shutdown", and also promised Mexico would pay for the wall and it would be so easy , believe me, he said, which he knew was all lies , and another act from him. And his supporters trust him because? He's a serial liar and a crook. They've already run the deficit up trillions, and guess what they'll use to reduce the deficit with? Medicaid , Medicare, and Social Security , like they took already almost 2 trillion out of it with trump and the gops tax scam bill. All the studies show a wall doesn't stop it, and its the most ineffective way, and most wasteful way to stop it, but he won't tell anyone that, why, because he can make the contractors pay him using his campaign fund to funnel it though to his pockets. Its all about him generating money for himself, nothing more.
