Sixty-five percent of U.S. voters believe Democrats should accept a continuing resolution to end the government shutdown instead of holding out for extended ACA funds, according to a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll.
The survey ran Oct. 1-2, gathering results from 2,413 registered voters. Seventy percent of voters opposed the shutdown.
While the majority of Democrats said they would prefer their party to continue the shutdown until ACA funds are secured, 90% of Republicans and 63% of independents and other party members think otherwise. A continuing resolution would allow the government to operate at current spending levels for the time being.
