Democrats Get New Shutdown Polling

November 12, 2025 at 6:20 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 120 Comments

“House Democratic leadership presented fresh polling to rank-and-file members this afternoon, arguing their party won the shutdown even amid fury on the left over Senate Democrats’ decision to fold after a 40-plus-day impasse,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Voters blamed “Trump and Republicans in Congress” for the shutdown over Democrats by a 14-point margin, 48% to 34%… Independents blamed the GOP over Democrats, 46% to 24%.”

1. I hate it that the shutdown was measured as some kind of competition...

…when people were suffering.

2. A tactic used by those who practice the dark arts to make you

chose and no matter what, you are diminished by your choice.

4. Yes.

It makes it sound like a scene from the Hunger Games.

8. I hate it that people keep electing Republicans that are making people suffer.

9. 8 months from now when there is no aca, no Medicaid, ice doing their Nazi thing 100 fold

I'm wondering if polls will be as positive, I guess we will see. I would bet the farm that the fascists will keep zero promises and feeling emboldened will only get much worse.
