Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : They did not get the spending cuts they had hoped to achieve within that bill, which is why Trump is urging them to hold the line on government funding.
45% : A government shutdown would mean thousands of government employees furloughed, which could lead to processing delays for programs Americans rely on like Social Security and SNAP.
23% : "It's yet another reminder that in both houses, a small group of hard-right Republicans are dead set to grind the gears of government to a halt," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said.
