Government holidays have short and long -term political consequences and cause some serious disorders and some just annoying. As politicians involved talk about who has the upper hand in it, Americans can be forgiven that they have a different view of this well -known drama. The duration of an finish end, of course, as well as his proximity to the elections, but what is likely to do another closure is to pinch already negative views of Congress and the government and political leadership in general.
Democrats have received many tips from colleagues partisans on how to handle this, with what seems to be a general agreement that they have to focus on Obamacare’s enhanced subsidies and reverse Medicaid cuts. There is concern between some moderate Republicans for this too. In most of the polls I’ve seen over the years, the public trusts the Democrats more than the Republicans for health care.
Despite the advantage of the Democrat for Health Care, polls prove that another closure will not give any part an advantage. Congress’s approval is already low, as for a long time. In September Gallup pollOnly 26% was approved by the way Congress handled his job. In another long -term Gallup measure, 49% had very little confidence in the Congress Foundation and another 36% had some. Only 10% had great or confidence in this basic institution.
Other polls provide a mixed picture of the current environment. When the Economist/Yougov asked in mid -September Regarding the effectiveness of the leadership of both parties, 26% said that the leadership of the Democratic Party was effective. To a separate question, 52% gave this answer about GOP leadership. Still, Democrats are now leading Republicans firmly to the general voting question the last Economist/Yougov Research39% to 35%. However, in last week’s poll, 39% said they believed that Republicans would gain control next November and 27% of the Democrats.
Many Americans are not familiar with Congress leaders and give their polls “do not know” or “they have not heard enough to say” answers to them. They just know that the institution is not working. From those with views, the evaluations of individual democratic and democratic leaders on the hill are not impressive, with less than three in ten in the latest poll by Economist/You Gov Republics Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and Republican Mike Johnson favorably. John Thune is even less well known and the favorable rating is lower. Standing to President Trump may thank the democratic basis, but it is unlikely to provide long -term national advantage.
But there is another vote indicator that tells us why a closure is unlikely to benefit from both parts. Gallup watched the answers to a question about the country’s most important problem since the late 1930s. The organization is asking people to say in their own words what is the most important problem facing the Code of Nation and Gallup the answers. In September Gallup poll28% gave the “government/bad leadership” response more than mentioned in any financial answer. The prominent analyst of Gallup Frank Newport Responses were analyzed In this question over time and noted that at the time of Watergate, 26% reported the government, but after that the concerns about it did not react very strongly until the 16 -day end in October 2013, when a third volunteer was offered. During the 35 -day interruption since December 2018 and January 2019, it increased to 35%. A Poll on Pew Research Center conducted during this termination found that “none of Washington’s political leaders receive[d] Positive Approval Scores to handle government closure. “Newport notes that there is a strong party tone in the answers now, with the Democrats more likely to express their concern now that Republicans are controlling the government’s levers.
In a news release in the morning, 12% said they had recently seen, reading or hearing a lot about government funding negotiations, as Congress is facing the deadline for September 30. More will coordinate if it happens and lasts. Most Americans do not pay much attention in part because the issues are complicated and the termination is a well -known drama for them. The GOP bill that has passed home only gets the nation on November 21.
Americans want their government to do many things and polls show that people believe that the government can have a positive impact on people’s lives. They also say that the government of polls do not have this kind of impact now. Covering the type of who wins and who loses is a basic support, but for most Americans, their political leaders will not come forward.
