"You Just Fucked It All Up, Mick."

Oof.

Here's another poll from CNN. Even worse for Trump than Post/ABC.

55% blame Trump for shutdown; only 32% blame Ds.

Only 39% support wall; 56% oppose.

Trump approval: 37-57.https://t.co/MJZKmwhLC0

I'm sure the support for ripping babies out of the arms of illegal immigrants has increased greatly as well. In bonding to a common refrain(s) they achieve unity. Trump's just an uglier than usual cheerleader, but rather effective - he simplifies and codifies that hard-to-deconstruct world out there. When you seek simplicity, ask a boisterous moron.

Important excerpt; explains a lot:

Support for building a wall on the border, which is the principal sticking point in the stalemate between the president and Democrats, has increased over the past year. Today, 42 percent say they support a wall, up from 34 percent last January. A slight majority of Americans (54 percent) oppose the idea, down from 63 percent a year ago.

The increase in support is sharpest among Republicans, whose backing for Trump’s long-standing campaign promise jumped 16 points in the past year, from 71 percent to 87 percent. Not only has GOP support increased, it has also hardened. Today, 70 percent of Republicans say they strongly support the wall, an increase of 12 points since January 2018.
