Effects of the Government Shutdown


After the government shutdown that made the public turn against Congress and Republican House leaders, the roles of the Democrats and Republicans were reversed. In polls about Obamacare, Democrats won 50/42 back in October, but now Republicans had the upper hand at 49/44. Women prove to be more supportive of the Democratic candidates while men poll in favor of Republicans; this creates a gender gap between the two groups. In a poll conducted by Cable News Network (CNN), 75% of Americans think Congress does nothing to make changes and approximately 66% say it is the worst Congress ever to be experienced. The unemployment cuts are bad news for the entire economy, not just for those who are unemployed.
