Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats prefer avoiding a shutdown by going with current spending levels. But 80% of Republicans -- and 59% of voters not affiliated with either major party -- think a shutdown is a better option until the two sides can agree on spending cuts.

 

Major spending cuts should be a pre-condition to any agreement that continues funding the federal goverment beyond a key deadline later this week.
