More than a week into the partial government shutdown , Americans continue to generally disapprove of how its been handled by everyone involved, a new HuffPost/YouGov survey finds.

Just 18 percent of Americans polled say they approve of how Congress has handled the shutdown, with 60 percent disapproving. Also in the negative are congressional Republicans (25 percent approve of how theyve handled it, 58 percent disapprove); congressional Democrats (33 percent approve, 51 percent disapprove); President Donald Trump (38 percent approve, 49 percent disapprove); and respondents own congressional representatives (33 percent approve, 41 percent disapprove).

For all but Trump, theres been a downward movement in ratings since a poll from the start of the shutdown , although in some cases, the change is modest enough to make it unclear whether it reflects a genuine shift in opinion or the kind of fluctuation inherent to surveys.
