If the Department of Homeland Security gets shut down later this month over a funding battle, the debate over who’s to blame could end up looking like a reprise of the 2013 government shutdown, according to a CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday.
While House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has said the blame over a possible shutdown should lie with Democrats, his own party seems poised to take more heat. Fifty-three percent of Americans said a DHS shutdown would be more the GOP’s fault, while 30 percent said more blame would lie with President Barack Obama.
