Jan. 10, 2019, “More Americans Now Say Congress Should Do What Trump Wants, Poll Finds,” by “More American [Likely] voters want Congress to follow President Donald Trump’s lead this year compared to last year, according to a survey released on Jan. 9 by Rasmussen, one of the most accurate pollsters in predicting the outcome of the 2016 election.
In a survey gauging the views of likely U.S. voters about the year ahead, 41 percent said that Congress should do more of what Trump wants. That is a 12 percent increase compared to the same time last year, according to Rasmussen.
Meanwhile, the number of [likely voting] Americans who want Trump to do more of what Congress wants has decreased by 8 percent from last year to 48 percent. Twelve percent of the respondents were undecided….
Trump and congressional Democrats are in a standoff about funding for a border security package. The impasse has resulted in a partial government shutdown, which has lasted for almost three weeks.
Many Americans [registered voters] believe there is a crisis on the Southwest border, according to a survey published by Morning Consult [Morning Consult/Politico poll] on Jan. 8.
The vast majority, regardless of party affiliation, said there is either a crisis or a problem on the border.
Americans [registered voters in Morning Consult/Politico poll] are still split on whether a border wall is a good idea. While 44 percent support building a wall on the Southwestern border, 47 percent oppose the idea....
Republicans continue to point out that the impasse is over a border security package, which includes funds for wall construction alongside funding for more border patrol agents, immigration judges, and a screening technology for ports of entry....
Prior to the midterm elections in November, 52 percent of [likely] voters surveyed by Rasmussen said that it would be better for the country if Congress worked with Trump, rather than oppose him.
Trump’s request for border security funding has overwhelming support among Republicans in Congress. But in order to pass the Senate, the spending bill requires the votes of at least seven Democrats.
On Jan. 9, congressional Democrat leaders refused to negotiate a deal.
“Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time,” Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
“I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security, which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!”

A November [2018] survey found that an overwhelming majority (68%) say it is more important for the new Democratic majority in the House of Representatives to focus on policy areas where it can work with the president and his fellow Republicans.
Fifty-three percent (53%) of Democrats think the new Congress will be better than the one that has served for the past two years, but 52% of Republicans think it will be worse. Among voters not affiliated with either political party, 23% say the new Congress will be better, 39% say it will be worse and 27% say it will be about the same….
Voters are overwhelmingly aware that there’s a partial shutdown of the federal government, but so far at least it isn’t bothering them.
Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful Democrat in Washington, D.C., but voters prefer that Trump lead the way.
Half of voters believe the president is setting the agenda in Washington, D.C., these days.”…
