Americans blame President Donald Trump and congressional Democrats about equally for the three-day government shutdown that ended Monday with another stopgap spending measure, according to a new NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll.
About 4 in 10 people, or 39 percent, think Democrats in Congress are responsible for the shutdown, which began early Saturday morning after Senate Democrats, citing insufficient progress on negotiations over the fate of young immigrants covered by the DACA program, withheld their support for a deal.
A similar share, 38 percent, blamed Trump for the shutdown. Just under 2 in 10 (18 percent) said Republicans in Congress were to blame. Taken together, however, the poll shows that a slight majority of Americans — 56 percent — blame the president and his party.

NBC is Comcast. And Comcast is FOS.
Democrats blame Republicans
Republicans blame Democrats
Blame? Why “blame”?
I say kudos to both teams for shutting down the entire sordid, corrupt anti-American cesspool, even though it was only a couple days.
Instead of blame, CONGRATULATIONS should be the order of the day.
nice poll. given a choice between the republicans, the republicans, and the democrats, about a third blamed the republicans.
More equating. The left always does this. “Oh, but both sides commit these types of crimes!” Poll shows both are equally to blame! When, Republicans are solely to blame they never say or print this acknowledgement. Only when their left is guilty as sin.
Democrat-Commies all this crap is solely your fault! There is more to come as well. We faced our Watergate. Time for you to face yours!
Yeah Trump is to blame.... sure. That is why the DemonRats caved.
Well at President Trump did not receive 105% of the blame.
Of course.
Takes two to tango...
If the dimwit Dims choose to protect and defend foreign criminal invaders of any age, rather than Citizens of the United States, they better be prepared to explain why before the next few National elections.
They best not count on the famous "egregious" ignorance of the American voter (legal or illegal!!!)
Uneducated Americans, NBC and a Monkey poll....
If Republicans are to blame why are leftists mad at Democrats for ending the shutdown? Not that reason even enters into their way of thinking.
Well, remember, Trump did say he would “take the blame”, or hit, or something like that, to take the heat off Repubs. Looks like it was well played by Trump. Question is, why would he want to after the way they treated him, unless it’s all part of the “show”, which I also wouldn’t doubt.
If Nothing But C*** news is saying “We found that people are saying `There’s enough blame to go around.’” the `rats must have really taken it in the shorts in the real poll results.
Of course Trump is to blame. He refused to vote on it.
Idiots......
NBC KNOW DAMN WELL the majority of people blame the RATS because of DACA.. *ssholes want to change the narrative to give chucky a do overs!! IT Ain’t GONNA HAPPEN!!

NBC polls - exposed fake polling so why even post this crap? If this was the truth we might still be in the phony shutdown.
Looks to me like a Schumer Shutdown
