It’s day 20 of the Schumer Shutdown, and Donald Trump is winning. Don’t take my word for it—CNN is admitting that this Democrat-led fiasco has done nothing to hurt the president’s approval. In fact, Trump’s approval has increased. CNN’s Harry Enten broke down the numbers. In terms of ‘blame,’ even the networks data cruncher said, “it’s a different world’ for the better for the Trump White House.
This wasn’t what Democrats wanted. They thought something would cave, which is a ludicrous concept: no way was Trump caving to Chuck Schumer and Temu Obama. Democrats shut down the show to extort another $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and NPR funding. Voters didn’t want a shutdown, and they didn’t want Congress to increase spending. Democrats opted to do both, and on issues that are beyond unpopular.
Yet, some in the liberal media thought that the Democrats ‘won’ the messaging war in the first stage. That’s obviously not true. Republicans wanted a clean continuing resolution, which is what Democrats always want. It was seven-weeks, with funding at Biden-era levels. It was meant to give time for Congress to hash out the final details on a dozen appropriations bills and get something done on Obamacare subsidies which expire in December.
Democrats wrecked that timeline.

That’s my guy, bless his heart.
The people who are most upset in the tens of millions are people who rely on the government - this is precisely the Democrat supporters. No way Dems will not be blamed by their very own constituents.
The government is shutdown?
I had no idea.
I don’t believe anything from CNN or pollsters.
At some point this will backfire on GOP as they control the executive and the legislature.
Obamacare is unsustainable - that is the debate we should be having.
I can’t see this going for much longer, nobody is going to be happy when the air traffic and TSA shut down over Thanksgiving holidays.
That is the way that I am looking at it. The Mockingbirds can say what they want to, but if Trump’s people are paid and the ‘Rats are not, then the Federal ‘Rats are going to look impotent. Chuck may as well clean out his desk for AOC.
The Democrats have entered the “Dragon Pit” to slay the Dragon Master, President Trump. They chose poorly.
“””The government is shutdown?
I had no idea.””””
I haven’t noticed any difference.
Fine. At least the dems can’t make up anymore stupid laws in Congress.
Keeping the dems out, keeps everyone else sane.
Save the USA. Shut it down!
No such thing as a one point swing where MOE exceeds one. Indeterminate. Am I the only one who passed a statistics course?
Well if you try to go to a national park you have to walk around a barricaded entry so there’s that. Sadly there is no staff there to take your fee.
Surrender Monkeys hardest hit!

JUST IN: President Trump shares an AI video of him with a crown on dropping poop from a fighter jet on Harry Sisson at a protest.
the only poll anyone should be watching is Rasmussens daily poll, and sure enough Trumps polling has gone up since the shutdown.
All of the poll agragators are filled with Anti Trump polls that were horrible off for the election, while Rasmussen was right on the money and polls every day.
Not to worry, they will be busy skewing and manufacturing new phony poll numbers.
Why would Republicans want to “get something done” on Obamacare subsidies?
Screw it.
Nov 1, food stamps may not get paid. The riots may start then and the democrats will get the blame.
