Public Split on Whom to Blame for Budget Stalemate

NBC News reports:

If there's a government shutdown, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that there will be enough blame to go around.

A plurality of 37 percent say they would blame congressional Republicans if the current budget disagreement leads to a shutdown of the federal government, while 20 percent say they would blame President Obama and another 20 percent would blame congressional Democrats.

Seventeen percent say they would blame everyone, and another 2 percent say they would blame both Obama and congressional Democrats.
