What do U.S. voters think about the ongoing government shutdown?

On December 22, 2018, during the Trump Administration, the U.S. federal government shut down for a period of 35 days until January 25th, 2019. This was the longest shutdown in U.S history to this date and it stemmed from budgetary issues over funding the expansion of a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

In an online survey in January 2019, we took a quick dip into the field to get a cursory sense of how voters were perceiving the end to the government shutdown.  Based on online interviews with 384 voters weighted for key demographics, we found:

Voters overwhelmingly support the deal to end the government shutdown with 79% supporting it including 48% who strongly support it, compared with only 21% who opposed the deal.
