A pair of new polls on Sunday suggest that Donald Trump and the Republican Party are fumbling their management of the U.S. economy, immigration system, and other issues where the president once held key advantages over Democrats.
The surveys come as a federal government shutdown is entering its second month this week, with no end in sight and the House of Representatives still out of session. Lawmakers on Capitol Hill seem little closer to breaking a stalemate over reopening the government, with Democrats refusing to give Republicans votes to do so unless subsidies for health care plans passed under the Biden administration are extended.
