This shows how out of touch Morning Joe and MSNBC are. [View all]

So I was watching that show this morning and they were blathering on about how Democrats were going to get blamed for the shutdown and how they have no plan.

To be fair one person mentioned an ABC poll favorable to the Democrats. However they still kept piling on.

The media are so out of touch. They ought to be hammering the GOP for failing to obtain the necessary votes to open the government. Instead they blame the Democrats for poor messaging. Idiots.

Well, here we go.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government is shut down, and Americans are more inclined to blame President Donald Trump and Republicans for it, according to four independent, national polls conducted just before or during the funding lapse.

But there is fluidity in the political fight, as the surveys show a significant share of voters aren't sure who to blame. The shutdown is only in its second day, as Republicans and Democrats sharpen their messages, and it's not clear how long the impasse will last.
