While voters are angry with everyone in Washington, Republicans continue to see the brunt of the blame and growing disapproval, according to a new poll out Monday.
Seventy-four percent of Americans disapprove of the way Republicans in Congress are handling negotiations over the budget, the
Washington Post-ABC News poll shows. This is up four points from last week’s poll and up 11 points since the start of the shutdown.
Democrats also see a majority of Americans disapproving how they are handling the negotiations, but that number remained steady from last week’s poll at 61 percent. This is a smaller climb from 56 percent at the start of the shutdown.
Republicans are also struggling with support from within their own party. The Washington Post reports that 49 percent of self-identified Republicans approve and 47 percent disapprove of the job Republican lawmakers are doing. Alternatively, more than six in 10 Democrats approve of the job Democratic members are doing.
Obama as well saw a decline in his approval rating with 53 percent of Americans now disapproving of how he is handling negotiations. This is up two points since last week and three points since the start of the shutdown.
The poll was conducted Oct. 9-13 and surveyed 1,005 adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
