Who Won the Shutdown Showdown?

The government shutdown might be over, but not everyone is happy with the outcome. Democrats feel like they gave up too much, while Republicans think they struck a fair deal. Most Americans believe that Republicans and President Trump came out on top. A recent survey asked people who were interviewed during the shutdown how they felt about the deal. Democrats are mostly frustrated and unhappy. They think their party should have held out for more. Republicans, on the other hand, feel relieved and satisfied with the compromise. Interestingly, even some Democrats think that Trump and the Republicans got more of what they wanted. This shows that the shutdown has left a bitter taste for many Democrats. The shutdown also brought attention to healthcare issues. Most people think that health insurance premiums will go up in the coming months. As government workers and air traffic controllers start getting paid again, people expect air travel to improve. During the shutdown, most people disapproved of how everyone handled the situation. That feeling hasn't changed much, even now that it's over. But Democrats are more disapproving of their own party's handling than they are of the Republicans or Trump.
