What we are seeing right now, and what Trump's speech last night was about, is trying to convince the country that the Democrats are in the wrong so that they buckle. My understanding of the polling on this issue, though, is that it is going in the opposite direction to make that happen. We'll see what the coming days bring, though.

538 looked at 3 polls that polled voters early in the shutdown and recently. All 3 showed a 4% increase in blame for Trump, from an average of 45% to 49%.

Blame for Democrats was an average of 33% and remained unchanged (less than a percent average decrease).
