Democratic Voters Want Shutdown Fight
Democratic Voters Want Shutdown Fight

A new Data for Progress survey “shows seven in 10 Democrats support their party withholding votes unless Republicans make changes even if it risks a shutdown, while a similar share backs their party taking a ‘firmer stand’ than they did in March.”
“What’s more, Democrats are arguing voters will blame the Republicans who control government for a shutdown, and the poll shows their voters share that view, 82% to 14%.”
“Large majorities of Democrats also think the party should fight President Donald Trump harder — even if they don’t win.”
CNN: Government shutdown fears intensify as Democrats stiffen resolve to block GOP spending bill.
