The longer the shutdown, the more Donald Trump falls in the polls. We’re now talking record territory. In a new poll released by CBS News, Trump’s approval rating has fallen to an all-time low, 36 percent. Also, 71 percent said the border wall is not worth shutting down the government. And they also believe Nancy Pelosi is doing a better job of handling the negotiations than Trump.

Meanwhile, White House aides tell Politico there is no changed planned in strategy. This is a one-issue administration at the moment.
Welcome to day 33 of the shutdown.
An even worse poll for Trump, from CBS:
Trump's approval sinks to 36%.
71% say Trump's wall is not worth shutting down government over.
Only 28% say the wall is worth it — meaning fewer than 3 in 10 support his current position.https://t.co/B7h1pZZ6i8 https://t.co/w0TGAcLfRD
