Voters Blame Trump for the Shutdown | Behind the Numbers with Rick & Andrew Wilson

 



The shutdown isn’t a shared burden — it’s a lopsided collapse landing squarely on Trump and Republicans. Poll after poll puts the blame at nearly 50–22 among independents, a gap wide enough to leave Democrats standing firm without fear of backlash. That margin alone explains why the memes and scapegoats aren’t working; when independents tilt against you two-to-one, the spin machine is already broken. Numbers like that don’t fade with another press conference. The economic story is no better. Tariffs once sold as debt-busting have instead gutted farmers and bled into consumer prices, with approval on inflation among independents sinking to 14 percent. Even inside the base, support on cost of living has dropped to 57 percent, a disastrous showing compared to other GOP litmus tests. Every missed contract and rotting crop is another reminder that trade policy wasn’t strategy, it was sabotage. And voters are connecting the dots in real time.
