CNN poll: DACA not worth a shutdown, except to Democrats

Washington (CNN)With hours to go before a midnight deadline for Congress to fund the government or shut it down, most Americans say avoiding a shutdown is more important than passing a bill to maintain the program allowing people brought to the US illegally as children to stay, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

Overall, about half of Americans say they would blame either Trump (21%) or his Republican counterparts in Congress (26%) should Congress fail to fund the government by the midnight Friday deadline. About a third, 31%, say they would hold the Democrats in Congress responsible, and another 10% say they'd blame all three groups. Among Republicans, 62% would blame the Democrats in Congress, while 43% of Democrats would blame Republicans on Capitol Hill and 29% would blame Trump.
Still, 56% overall say approving a budget agreement to avoid a shutdown is more important than continuing the DACA program, while just 34% choose DACA over a shutdown. Democrats break narrowly in favor of DACA -- 49% say it's more important vs. 42% who say avoiding a shutdown is the priority -- while majorities of both Republicans (75%) and independents (57%) say avoiding a shutdown is more important.

CNN is FAKE news. Nobody cares about this. Legal status for Dreamers RIGHT NOW! This is a stupid poll. Please delete mods! The OP is a stupid troll who is against Dreamers.

Democrats are under pressure to give into Trump and not hurt their chances in Mid-term.

Democrats may have to throw DACAers under the bus for now and pick them up after Mid-term.

He was never a Dreamer or undocumented in the first place. He came here through the H1B program.

It's just a fucking poll.

Dems would have caved earlier in the day. A bitch ass poll is not going to help or hurt. Guys swear like everyone in congress is looking at the CNN poll. It's a fucking POLL.

The fact is that there are negotiations happening.

He also said Dreamers shouldn’t get legalized ahead of H1B workers.
