GOP, Trump Gained More From Shutdown Deal: CBS Poll

There is some relief that the government shutdown is over, but Democrats are more likely to say they are frustrated with the deal that ended it and that their party compromised too much, Anthony Salvanto reported for CBS News.

Rank-and-file Democrats tend to agree that Trump and congressional Republicans got more of what they wanted.

By a wide margin, Americans say it was Republicans and President Trump who succeeded in getting more of what they wanted from the negotiations to end the shutdown.

This survey recontacted Americans first interviewed in the early November poll, while the shutdown was still in effect.

Today, most Democrats think their party’s congressional leaders compromised too much.

Most Republicans say their delegation’s approach to compromise was about right.

And perhaps as a result, rank-and-file Democrats tend to agree that Trump and congressional Republicans got more of what they wanted, more so than their own party, the CBS survey showed.
