Even if you're a minority of one, the truth is still the truth - Mahatma Gandhi
The wording and context of a poll are everything...for example, I think President Trump is responsible for the shutdown. I'm also quite grateful to him for doing so. So the fact that 51% say the president is responsible for the shutdown...and he himself has stated he takes responsibility...is not really a negative.
I've not been paid for over a month now...and I'm glad to go on working without that pay as long as its for the cause of getting the wall built. There's a whole crapload of Border Agents, ICE agents and DHS employees who feel the same damn way...they are glad to make this sacrifice if its for the good of the nation. What are you willing to sacrifice, Corbe, to get it done?
In the end, as Gandhi stated, the truth is the truth even if many people deny it...and needing a wall to protect our border is a very clear and basic truth.
Additionally, being a "political gamesman" is not a positive. Trump is private citizen and businessman...not a politician. That is one of his best qualities so I'm glad Pelosi is seen as the "political gamesman" and not the President.
Finally, the shutdown is a more pressing emergency...as the Border crisis is more of a long term emergency that we all know will only be fixed over a lengthy period of time...likely years. The shutdown cannot last that long and so is more pressing...so the poll is not really wrong, it just is not implicative of what you think it is.
