According to the latest CBS News poll, 66 percent of Americans don't think Trump should declare an emergency to build the wall. "If government funding runs out on Feb. 15 and there's still an impasse over wall funding, Americans don't want either side to force another shutdown," CBS reports. "Seventy-three percent of Americans want Mr. Trump to continue negotiating while keeping the government open, rather than demand wall funding if that forces a shutdown. A similar number (75 percent) say congressional Democrats should also continue negotiating, rather than deny funding in a move that might force a shutdown."
While 58 percent think the economy is very or somewhat good, when asked "how the country overall is doing compared to a year ago, more say the country is worse off (50 percent) than better (28 percent).
