The latest poll on the 9th showed that the American people believe that the current federal government continues to "stagnate", and both the Republican and Democratic parties have responsibility.

The survey, conducted by Reuters and Ipsos Group across the U.S. from 3 to 7 this month, involved a total of 1,154 adults. When responding to ¡°Who should be responsible for ¡®stopping¡¯,¡± 67% and 63% of respondents, respectively, pointed to Republicans and Democrats. About 63% of respondents believed that U.S. President Trump ¡°should be at least substantially blamed.¡±

Due to differences between the two parties on welfare spending such as health insurance, the U.S. Senate failed to pass a new temporary appropriation bill before the end of the last fiscal year on September 30th. From 0:00 Eastern Time on October 1st, the federal government "shut down" again after nearly seven years, and the two parties "dumped the pot" on each other.

According to Agence France-Presse, the Senate once again refused to pass a temporary appropriation bill introduced by Republicans on the 9th, and then adjourned until the 14th. This seems to mean that the federal government "shutdown" will enter its third week. During the "shutdown" period, about 750,000 federal employees took unpaid leave. It may be difficult for soldiers to get paid on time on the 15th payday.

According to Reuters, both parties are focusing on next year's mid-term congressional elections, and both parties are trying to gain political benefits from the "shutdown". But members of Congress have already warned against trying to gain an advantage from a severe staffing shortage at federal agencies, which has caused air travel delays.

At the same time, the poll shows that about 49% of the respondents are worried that their social security and student aid benefits will be delayed due to the impact of the "shutdown".
