Public opinion polls show more Americans blame President Donald Trump than opposition Democrats at the moment, and to some the standoff is already serving as a likely blueprint for the 2020 presidential election battle. "Trump is losing on this, Congress is losing on this, and then federal workers, who are without pay, are losing on this," said Jim Kessler of Third Way, a center-left public advocacy group in Washington. Wall or bust President Trump remains adamant about funding for a wall along the southern border, a key campaign promise from 2016. On Thursday, the Senate will vote on competing proposals to end the shutdown, one from the White House and Republicans, the other from Democrats. "We, the Coast Guard, the Border Patrol and other folks that make this country safe and secure, we don't get that much money; but, we should be paid for it," Gosman told reporters. "Public opinion polls, I think, are more against the president than against the Democrats," said Fortier. A new poll Wednesday from Morning Consult/POLITICO found that 54 percent blamed President Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown, while 35 percent blamed congressional Democrats. Overall, the president's approval rating has suffered during the shutdown, dropping from an average of around 43 percent last month to around 40 percent this year. A new CBS poll also found that by a margin of 71 to 28 percent, voters believe that money for a border wall is not worth shutting down the government. "And both sides will have to give something.

“I applaud President Trump for proposing a compromise that re-opens government, protects our borders and takes care of those brought to this country illegally through no fault of their own,” he said. Now it’s time for Democrats to decide if they want to negotiate in good faith and accept a compromise that secures our borders and protects DREAMers or if they want to continue playing politics. “Reopen the government, Mr. President. “Good to see the President offer a bipartisan olive branch to end the government shutdown,” he tweeted. “By proposing previously rejected initiatives, @POTUS clearly isn’t taking any real action to end the #TrumpShutdown and negotiate in good faith with Democrats. “@POTUS is offering a compromise to Democratic leadership which protects our national security and addresses #DREAMers and #TPS. Will Speaker Pelosi and Leader [Charles] Schumer finally operate in good faith to address the humanitarian and security crisis on our border and reopen our federal agencies, or will they continue to distract, oppose, and obstruct? ZERO,” she tweeted. If President Trump is serious about negotiating in good faith then he will open government first before offering concessions,” she wrote on Twitter. House Democrats support smart border security and we have voted nine times to open government and allow 800,000 federal employees to return to work.

But so far one has eluded him: the woman he calls only “Nancy”. As a partial government shutdown enters a record fifth week, the Democrat has been implacable in denying him $5.7bn to help build a border wall. She was the first woman to become House speaker, from 2007 to 2011, and recently regained that position, putting her second in line to the presidency. Then he had a two-year honeymoon in the White House as Republicans controlled the House and Senate. Do you have a favourable or unfavourable opinion of Nancy Pelosi? The tables had been turned, the master brander outbranded. Cornfield said: “We will look back on 11 December as the day he met his match. She knows that every day the shutdown goes on, she and the Democrats gain and Trump and the Republicans lose. I know a temper tantrum when I see one.” This week, as Trump continued to tweet back in anger, Pelosi suggested he delay his State of the Union address – the ultimate showcase for any president – until the government reopens. Number two, it gives him a reason to end the shutdown, because he loves the TV audience and the attention.” The president tried to strike back on Thursday with a letter deriding a planned visit by Pelosi and other Democrats to Afghanistan as a “public relations event” and saying it would be better if she remained in Washington to negotiate reopening the government.
