A Morning Consult/Politico poll released Wednesday showed a majority of Republican voters would support a federal government shutdown if it could deliver the signature Trump promise of a southern border wall.
The poll shows 51 percent of Republican respondents supported forcing a shutdown to fund the wall, with 26 percent of those strongly supporting such a measure. The corresponding figures for all voters were 28 and 14 percent respectively, reflecting strong opposition from Democrats and independent voters.
Among “Tea Party Supporters” there was even greater acceptance of the idea of a shutdown to build the wall, with 55 percent somewhat or strongly in support. Only 45 percent of self-identified “Conservatives,” however were similarly on board.
Republicans were united with other Americans in expressing generalized concern over a shutdown, with 72 percent of GOP voters saying they were somewhat or very concerned with the prospect of a shutdown.
