Donald Trump’s shutdown strategy isn’t working.  Two new polls out Sunday show the majority of Americans blame the President for the impasse that has left 800,000 federal workers without a paycheck. From The Washington Post:

Concerning the allocation of blame, 53 percent say Trump and the Republicans are mainly at fault, and 29 percent blame the Democrats in Congress. Thirteen percent say both sides bear equal responsibility for the shutdown. That is identical to the end of the 16-day shutdown in 2013, when 29 percent blamed then-President Barack Obama and 53 percent put the responsibility on congressional Republicans.

Meanwhile, a new poll from CNN shows Trump’s disapproval rating has climbed 5 points in the last month. Also, 56 percent of Americans oppose Trump’s border wall, 39 percent support it.  CNN writes:

Overall, the President’s approval rating in the poll stands at 37% approve to 57% disapprove. Disapproval has risen five points since December, while his approval number has held roughly the same. Trump’s current approval rating matches Ronald Reagan’s at this point in his presidency. January of 1983 was the only time during Reagan’s tenure when his approval rating fell below 40%, according to Gallup. Trump has hit a low point of 35% in CNN’s polling two times — in December 2017 and February 2018 — and has been at 40% or above just nine times out of the 20 CNN has polled on it.

The increase in disapproval for the President comes primarily among whites without college degrees, 45% of whom approve and 47% disapprove, marking the first time his approval rating with this group has been underwater in CNN polling since February 2018. 

It should also be noted that in the Post/ABC Poll, support for the wall has grown in the last year, especially among Republicans.  GOP support has risen 16 points.
