Maison blanche et shutdown: la tentation de célébrer?

Les derniers événements pointent vers la fin de la fermeture des services gouvernementaux. Si Obama et ses conseillers voient la fin du conflit, on évite de pavoiser et de fêter prématurément.

 "A Wall Street Journal/NBC poll released Thursday night — and no doubt reflecting what both White House and Republican pollsters already knew — showed the public approval rating for Republicans at 24 percent, an all-time low in the history of the survey. Seventy percent of respondents said the congressional GOP was putting politics before the good of the country, and, worst for the GOP, the numbers for Obamacare have actually risen during the shutdown.

 Thirty-eight percent of Americans now see the Affordable Care Act as a good idea, up from 31 percent last month, according to the poll. And while 43 percent see it as a bad idea — about the same as last month — 50 percent now say they oppose defunding the law. “That is an ideological boomerang,” Bill McInturff, a GOP pollster who teamed up with Democrat Peter Hart on the survey, told NBC. “As the debate has been going on, if there is a break, there is a break against the Republican position.”
