By a margin of 46 points (69-23) the American electorate opposes shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood's funding, according to a Quinnipiac poll released today. Republicans, too, oppose a shutdown by a 20-point margin (56–36 percent).
In terms of blame, there's the usual partisan split: 73 percent of Republicans would blame a shutdown on Obama and congressional Democrats, and 79 percent of Democrats would blame congressional Republicans. There is a statistically significant gap among Independents, however: 39 percent would blame Republicans, while 30 percent would blame Democrats.
Soldier on, Ted Cruz, and keep peddling that snake oil.
