Government shutdown threat unacceptable, poll says

Eighty percent of Americans say threatening a government shutdown during budget debates is not an acceptable way to negotiate; only 16 percent think it is.

While partisan divides may exist on a number of issues, majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents all agree that threatening a shutdown of the government is not the way to negotiate.

When asked about cooperation in order to get things done, President Obama fares better than the Republicans in Congress. He receives credit from about half of Americans (51 percent) for reaching across the aisle and trying to work with Republicans in Congress - but that represents a drop from 60 percent in January 2012.

Still, far fewer Americans see Republicans in Congress reciprocating. Just 23 percent say they are trying to work with the President, and 70 percent say they are not.
