I guess people really don't respect the office of the President anymore

Americans have a clear message to Washington as the government hurtles toward a partial shutdown on Friday: Don't.

By nearly 2-1, Americans would blame Trump and the Republicans, not congressional Democrats. Forty-three percent would blame the president and the GOP, while 24 percent would hold congressional Democrats responsible. Thirty percent would blame both sides equally responsible.

Trump has said he would own the shutdown, it's on him in his own words... "I will shut down the government. I am proud to shut down the government. I will take the mantle"

Why do these 24-30% of people have so little faith in the words of their President? Don't they want to rally behind his words in this potential shutdown?
