President Trump, Congress, and members of both parties all get negative marks for their initial handling of the partial government shutdown, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov survey . Forty-five percent of Americans say Trump should have compromised on the border wall to prevent gridlock, while 35 percent say he was right not to compromise even though it led to a partial shutdown. Most Americans Don’t Consider Partial Shutdown ‘Very Serious’; 1 In 10 Say They’ll Feel Personal EffectsA tenth of Americans say they’ve been personally affected by the partial shutdown, or that they expect they will be. The partial shutdown hasn’t gone unnoticed by the broader public either, despite the holiday weekend. Sixty-one percent consider the partial shutdown to be at least a serious problem, similar to the share who said the same of the shutdown this January.
