The "polls" blamed the Republicans for the shutdown in 2013. Then, Republicans slaughtered the democrats in 2014. The public doesn't care much. The media care a lot.
Republicans have The White House,The House and Senate.If there is a shutdown everyone knows it's the Republicans fault
the slant just proves my point even more. most people found democrats to blame by a large margin over republicans with trump in third place. When you run it through the very success 2016 jem algo you undue the 9 point slant and you see the dems will take a beating on this in the close states.
