WASHINGTON (CNN) —If the federal government shuts down starting Tuesday because of a bitter partisan battle over the new health care law, more people say congressional Republicans rather than President Barack Obama would be responsible, according to a new national survey.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Monday morning, hours before funding for the government is scheduled to run out, also indicates that most Americans think Republicans in Congress are acting like spoiled children in this fiscal fight, with the public divided on whether the president is acting like a spoiled child or a responsible adult.

And six in 10 questioned in the survey say they want Congress to approve a budget agreement to avoid a government shutdown, and if it happens, most people say a shutdown would be a bad thing for the country.

The poll's release comes one day after the GOP-dominated House of Representatives approved a spending plan to fund the government that would delay the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, for a year, and repeal its tax on medical devices.

1. Another shut down by republicans will be a plus for the democratic party. You'd think

the GOP would have learned something from the last time they did it!

2. I wonder if Bohner is actually a closet patriot

who has finally realized that the only way out of our problems is to hand the house back to the Democrats. And this is just his way of making that happen.

Or maybe he's just a weak and stupid man who never should have been entrusted with the responsibility he holds in the first place.
