by Daniel Chaitin
| January 13, 2019 07:38 AM
Support for President Trump's wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is at an all-time high weeks into a partial government shutdown which began over a border security dispute for funding.
According to the results of an ABC News and Washington Post poll released Sunday morning, 42 percent of Americans support a wall. That is up from 34 percent one year ago and a previous high of 37 percent in 2017.
With 54 percent, the majority poll still oppose building a border wall. However, that opposition is shrinking, as 63 percent opposed the wall a year ago and the previous low was 60 percent two years ago.

You would expect the polling numbers to match his job approval. The 42% matches the RCP average, but is below the Rasmussen numbers. So, that’s hardly encouraging.

Trump's demand for roughly $5.6 billion in border security funding led to what is now the longest government shutdown in history
Another record shattered like deficit spending and job disapproval.
