Days after the end of the longest shutdown in history, a new Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday finds a majority of Americans trust Democrats over President Trump on the issue at the center of the stalemate: border security. Fifty percent of registered voters say they trust Democrats in Congress to address border security, as opposed to 41 percent who said they trust Mr. Trump.
The results are deeply divided along party and racial lines. Republicans trust Mr. Trump 87 to 8 percent, while Democrats trust congressional Democrats 91 to 4 percent. White voters trust Mr. Trump by 50 to 44 percent, black voters trust Democrats by 75 to 16 percent and Hispanic voters trust Democrats 66 to 13 percent.
As recently as November, a Washington Post/ABC News poll found voters trusted Republicans over Democrats on border security by 10 points. The 35-day shutdown was the result of a dispute over funding for a border wall. Mr. Trump initially refused to sign any funding bill that didn't include money for the wall, which Democrats opposed. However, Mr. Trump backed down on Friday, signing a continuing resolution without wall funding to reopen the government through Feb. 15 while congressional negotiators try to craft a deal on border security.
White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told "Face the Nation" Mr. Trump is willing to allow another shutdown if he does not get wall funding by the new deadline.
"He is willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border. He does take this very seriously. This is a serious humanitarian and security crisis," Mulvaney said Sunday.
But the Quinnipiac poll found the wall is mostly popular among members of Mr. Trump's political base. Fifty-five percent of voters overall oppose building a wall, while 41 percent support it. Sixty-one percent of voters said they would support a bill funding new border security measures without a wall, and 66 percent of voters said they would not support Mr. Trump calling a national emergency to build the wall. Mr. Trump is also mulling a national emergency declaration as a possible path to funding wall construction.
The poll also found 56 percent of voters blamed Mr. Trump and Republicans for the shutdown. Sixty-eight percent said they did not support shutting down the government in an attempt to get funding for the wall.
Where was the poll taken? New York, Hollywood, LA? Pure BS.
30D- to 26R. 37 % ind. + 7 % unknown. I haven’t studied how ‘push-polly’ it was. Heavy indies.
No, that’s not the question.
The question is can anyone on FR really believe what ABC says about a poll or anything else is worth a second’s more time than spit on the sidewalk.
yes indeed, we all can trust the D’s on border security...
for sure!
to make sure there isn’t any border security...
the D’s are very very “trustworthy” to to that!
BS. That doesn’t even make sense.
People are going to trust those who are decisive.
In other words, the poll is presented as an obvious wash, but CBS is out to damage the President with a bogus headline.

I don’t believe any polls anymore. Polls are no longer an attempt to see what Americans think about this or that issue, but are designed to get a specific result that will then influence how people thing. And Americans, being pretty stupid and apparently unable to think critically, or even think, are perfect targets for this tactic. Additionally, when the MSM constantly put forward Democrat ideas as good and normal and Republican ideas as racist and bad, it is easy to see these results because Americans are stupid and unable to think.
This poll has gotta be a joke. See BS Fake News.
More BS from CBS..
This poll has gotta be a joke. See BS Fake News.
A little earlier this day, I saw a poll on FOX that had the complete opposite.
I know who I believe.
It’s not Trump that’s failed. He’s one person against so much. I for one have not been this pessimistic since September of 16. I hate saying it but it looks grim. Fla gave almost 2 million felons the vote the horde is pouring into Texas. Believe or not Trump didn’t carry Tx by that much. Either FLA or Texas flips and it is over. Maybe l feel better tomorrow but polls like these even if they are cooked are demoralizing.
This is great!
We used to get about 9 percent blacks.
I think he should have emphasized that Pelosi was absen while he was wanting to negotiate. Empty chair telecast, etc.
They’re already firing up and tweaking the fake poll machine for 2020.
Here is the question to ask, Democrats are in favor of open borders, their plan is to bring in 100 to 300 Million people from around the world, are you in favor of that?
That is everything in a nutshell, lets see what people say then.
30D- to 26R. 37 % ind. + 7 % unknown
Hate to say it but that is about right the independent seems a bit high but it seems fair. Of course we do not know the exact questions but it looks bad.
And in the latest poll, Old Hill up by 12 points
I’d like to see raw data myself. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. How is the data being weighted? Why?
