Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House in October 2025. According to polling, who do Americans blame most for the government shutdown that started October 1?

Question

Accepted Answer

A Washington Post poll shows 47% of Americans blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown, compared to 30% who blame Democrats and 23% unsure. Independents blame Trump and Republicans by an even wider margin of 50% to 22%. This is notable because Republicans hold slim majorities in both chambers of Congress and control the White House, yet cannot pass their own funding bill. The Senate has failed to advance the Republican funding bill 10 times as of October 16.
