(POLL) 56% prefer govt. shutdown over raising debt ceiling

Dated: January 24, 2023 by Sharyl Attkisson 1 Comment

      

As President Joe Biden prepares to face off with House Republicans over the U.S. governmentโ€™s debt ceiling, a majority of voters would rather have a government shutdown than to have Congress sign off on more spending.

That's according to the latest Rasmussen Reports.

The survey found that 56% of "likely" U.S. voters would rather have a partial government shutdown until Congress can agree to either cut spending or keep it the same.

Just 34% would rather avoid a partial shutdown by authorizing more spending.

Four years ago, when President Donald Trump and Democrats squared off over the debt ceiling, 54% preferred a shutdown. 

Biden has suggested tax increases as part of his plans for a debt-ceiling fix.

However, most voters think spending is the problem.

Sixty-six percent (66%) believe politiciansโ€™ unwillingness to reduce government spending is more to blame for the size of the federal deficit than taxpayersโ€™ unwillingness to pay more in taxes.

Twenty-one percent (21%) think taxpayers are more to blame for the size of the deficit.

Another 13% are not sure.
