Most Americans want Democrats to end their disastrous government shutdown, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.
It comes as service members and federal employees are set to miss their next paycheck, critical food assistance for low-income women and children is in dire jeopardy, states are staring down an economic catastrophe, and layoffs could be imminent — all because of Democrats’ sick push to give illegal aliens free health care.
Here are the key results:
- 70% oppose the government shutdown.
- 65% say Democrats should accept Republicans’ clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution.
- 62% say Republicans “will win the government shutdown.”
- 55% say Democrats are “just trying to please their base.”
