Most Americans Prefer US Gov't Shutdown Than Have Congress Approve More Spending: Poll
The poll was conducted from January 2-22, the period which saw the protracted process of electing a speaker in the new Republican-majority Congress and the revelation of classified documents in President Joe Biden’s private possession from the time of his vice presidency. However, approval ratings of Congress (21%) and Biden (41%) remained the same.
Inflation remained the second top-ranked problem at 15%, followed by illegal immigration at 11%. The economy fell six percentage points to 10%, its lowest ranking in a year.
