    President Trump’s proposed wall along the United States-Mexico border has soared in popularity with American voters across the board, as he battles a split GOP-Democrat Congress to secure funding for the barrier.

    The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll reveals a major shift among nearly all demographic groups across the country when it comes to support for a border wall at the southern border...

    Some good news for Trump on the border wall in new ABC/WaPo Poll:
    Support for a border wall increased from 34% to 42%
    Among college-educated, up 13pts
    Among Independents, up 11pts
    Among midwesterners, up 14pts
    Among 18-39 yr. olds, up 5pts
    Among nonwhites, up 6pts

    Trump will build a wall and build it tall.

    Fascinating poll results.

    I suspect the numbers will continue to rise, and I suspect the govt will remain shutdown.

    Fascinating indeed. From the article you posted...
    https://www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/1203a1GovernmentShutdown.pdf

    "A majority of Americans hold Donald Trump and congressional Republicans mainly responsible for the partial federal shutdown now in its unprecedented 23 rd day. Only a quarter back Trump’s claim that there’s a crisis at the southern border and two-thirds in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll oppose his declaring a national emergency to fund a wall there."

    "A wide majority of Americans reject the claim at the heart of Trump’s address to the nation last week: Just 24 percent think the immigration situation at the border is at a crisis level. Even among supporters of a border wall, a less-than-overwhelming 46 percent see a crisis, along with just 9 percent of wall opponents. Still, about half in both groups say it’s a serious problem, though not a crisis (48 percent of wall supporters, 47 percent of wall opposers)"

    "Despite higher support for the wall, 66 percent oppose Trump using emergency powers to get it built. Half strongly oppose this course, double the number who strongly support it. Notably, use 3 of emergency powers is backed by majorities in only a few Trump-friendly groups, including Republicans and strong conservatives – both of whom are for it by 30-point margins or more."

    Very few people don’t want a wall in strategic locations — typically where the current wall already is.

    Only trumpets, which thankfully is an ever dwindling minority, want to shut down the US government to boost trumps ego

    This poll was taken from swing voters who voted FOR trump, are white and will claim other colors to help the poll. Also, it was in Mississippi and AlaBAMA only, rural, white folk

    When was the last time that ABC/Washington Post asked about support for the wall? One year prior.

    How do the ABC/Washington Post Numbers regarding support for the wall compare to other polls conducted in the last month? They are completely consistent in revealing that a significant majority oppose the wall.

    Of the polls who asked for support/opposition on the wall multiple times over the last month, how much has support shifted? Support/Opposition have remained almost exactly the same.

    It's becoming very clear to everyone that Open Borders Democrats are more committed to illegals than to the operation of the Federal Government. It's also becoming very clear that we don't need these non-essential workers, that vast majority of which are Democrats.

    Indeed. Looks like the midwest is really tuning in to Trump's agenda.

    They are all welcomed to go to the GoFundMe page and contribute. Something tells me they won't put their money where their mouth is.

    Even with good poll numbers America is still not a direct democracy

    Trump won the poll conducted on the 2nd tuesday in november 2016

    Which is the only poll with the weight of law

    Democrats won the poll conducted on the 2nd tuesday in november, 2018.

    That poll also carries the weight of law.

    The American people are starting to see through Democrat lies about Democrats being pro border security and against illegal immigration. Democrats offer illegal immigrants benefits aid and abet them with sanctuary cities and even brag about how they are ending the white majority which they hate. The last person who will have the American people's best interest at heart is a globalist Democrat.

    If Hillary won they would be making America the world's first sanctuary country.

    The beauty of this is the longer the delays of the left go, the more people will look into this, and support the wall.

    Democrats prove they care more about a foriegn journalist killed in a foriegn land by foriegners then they do Americans killed in America by foriegners.

    Surely you mean half the vote or is the house now the entire legislative branch?

    No, I meant the overwhelming majority of the vote at all levels of government.

    The fact that the GOP won 2 seats in the senate when the Democrats had 26 on the chopping block, 10 in States that Trump won, 5 in States that Trump won by double digits is a further sign of that victory for democrats.
