Submitted by Anonymous on August 27, 2013 - 11:05am
Republicans tend to think a GOP congressional shutdown to stop funding for President Barack Obama's health care law will be good for their party, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday.
The survey found 42 percent of likely Republican voters believe threatening to vote against a government funding bill unless it cuts off funds for the health care law will ultimately help the GOP, while 28 percent disagree and instead believe it will hurt their party. Only 14 percent said it would have no impact, and 16 percent said they weren't sure.
