POLL: Americans Want Democrats to END Their Shutdown

The White House
October 6, 2025

Most Americans want Democrats to end their disastrous government shutdown, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

It comes as service members and federal employees are set to miss their next paycheck, critical food assistance for low-income women and children is in dire jeopardy, states are staring down an economic catastrophe, and layoffs could be imminent - all because of Democrats' sick push to give illegal aliens free health care.

Here are the key results:

  • 70% oppose the government shutdown.
  • 65% say Democrats should accept Republicans' clean, nonpartisan continuing resolution.
  • 62% say Republicans "will win the government shutdown."
  • 55% say Democrats are "just trying to please their base."
