Trump’s Poll Numbers Hold Steady During Shutdown, Pelosi Became Less Popular
A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows that President Donald Trump’s job approval rating remained essentially unchanged during the partial government shutdown, while respondents having a “very negative” view of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi increased by 6 percentage points.
Trump’s approval rating stood at 43 percent in the poll that was conducted over a four day period, which ended on January 23.
That number is the same as recorded in a survey taken 10 days before the partial government shutdown began in December.

Twenty-nine percent said they strongly approved of Trump’s job performance, a 2 percent increase from last month. Forty-seven percent said they strongly disapproved, which is a 3 percent jump. Overall, Trump’s disapproval rating registered at 54 percent.
“Mr. Trump’s approval rating was steady even though more Americans blame the president than Congress for the shutdown, a change from past funding fights,” The Journal reported. “Mr. Trump bears responsibility for the funding lapse, according to 50% of respondents, compared with 37% who said Democrats in Congress were most to blame.”
Meanwhile, Pelosi’s overall approval rating also remained unchanged since before the shutdown at 28 percent. However, her disapproval rating increased from 41 to 47 percent.
Perhaps not surprisingly, 63 percent of respondents said the country was on the wrong track during the shutdown, up 7 percent from last month and the highest mark since December 2017.
