Most Americans oppose a democratic closure on health credits

Almost two -thirds of American voters say that Congress Democrats should not force a closure of the federal government if their requests are not satisfied, according to a new national poll.

But a New York Times / Siena survey also indicates that voters would blame the Republicans and President Donald Trump, as well as the Democrats, if the government stops at midnight on Tuesday.

Currently, there is no indication that Trump and the republican majority at the Congress or Congress Democrats are ready to reduce the temperature, the two political parties in disagreement on a temporary short -term spending plan to avoid closure.

Democrats insist that any agreement to prevent a government closure must prolong the tax credits for the popular affordable care law (ACA) beyond the end of this year. These credits, on which millions of Americans count to reduce the costs of health plans under the ACA, which was once called Obamacare, should expire unless the congress is.

But most Republicans oppose the extension of credits and argue that the Democrats’ demands would lead to a huge increase in health care funded by taxpayers for migrants who have entered the country illegally.

Sixty-five percent of those questioned in the survey said that Democrats should not close the government even if their requests are not satisfied, 27% in disagreement.

But many Democrats seem eager to fight.

By a margin of 47% to 43%, the Democrats said that the party should vote to close the government if their requests are not satisfied.

Only 32% of the self -employed and only 5% of Republican respondents said that Democrats should vote to close the government.

Meanwhile, the survey also indicates that independent voters are twice as likely to blame Trump and the Republicans of Congress as the Democrats if the government firm.
