A majority of Americans, 53%, place more blame for the shutdown on the GOP according to a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released late Thursday, with 31% targeting President Barack Obama as more responsible for the shutdown. And in multiple surveys, favorable views of the Republican Party are at never-before-seen lows. In a Gallup survey, just 28% of Americans had a positive view of the GOP, and in the NBC/WSJ poll that number was 24%.
On the flip side, Obama’s approval numbers have ticked up, with a 51% favorable, 47% unfavorable score in the latest poll from the conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports.
All told, the polling indicates a potentially catastrophic miscalculation by House Republicans, who in the pursuit of pleasing their conservative base have alienated large swaths of the rest of the country.With the government shutdown in its 11th day, and just six days remaining to raise the debt limit, Republicans are bearing the brunt of public frustration with Washington's dysfunction.
The Republicans are going to pay Teabaggers incompetence come next election and chances are the Teabaggers will be unaffected in their gerrymandered districts.

how would I know?
it's obvious that what begun as a libertarian movement, akin to OWS, has been completely hijacked by the super rich (Kochs etc) and turned against them. they are part of what they are fighting against and they don't even know it. it's only in their echo chamber that they think they are "winning" or that somehow anyone could "win" from this mess..

This is the reason you see the markets climbing even with the "grandstanding" in the US government over the debt ceiling. The people in the markets know it really means nothing, as they have been through it before. All that will happene is the US will print more money, and devalue thier currency, and use that currency devaluation to pay thier debts back at a lower total cost to the government.Originally posted by nando View Postnever?

what do you think they world governments are going to do? we've basically got a gun to our head and the only chance is if the moderates stand up and say enough of this nonsense.
this isn't a Disney movie, there's no knight in shining armor that's going to save us at the last minute; god's not going to wave his hand and magically make them pass an agreement. a default may still be unlikely but it's entirely possible and there are plenty on the extreme fringe who'd like to see it happen. The problem is, they're really close to having the power to making that a reality.

House Republicans Changed The Rules So A Majority Vote Couldn't Stop The Government Shutdown
In its effort to extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for opening the government, the GOP has faced a fundamental strategic obstacle: They don't have the votes. A majority of the members of the House have gone on record saying that if they were given the opportunity to vote, they would support what's known as a "clean" continuing resolution to fund the government.
So House Republican leaders made sure no such vote could happen.
