a gallup poll conducted during the first week of the shutdown found that the percentage of americans with a favorable opinion of the republican party had fallen to the lowest level for either party since gallup began measuring party favorability in 1992, with only 28% of americans saying they now had a favorable opinion of the republican party, down 10 points from september, before the shutdown. the democratic party had a 43% favorable rating, down 4 points from the previous month. president obama's job approval was at 44%, about the same as when the shutdown began. the same poll found a near all-time low approval rating of congress at only 11%, a drop from 19% in september. an nbc news/"wall street journal" poll similarly found the public's support for the republican party at a historic low, with only 24% saying they viewed the party favorably. the public blamed the republicans for the shutdown more than the president by 53% to 31%, a greater margin than had been the case during the last shutdown, in 1995–1996. an abc news/"washington post" poll also conducted during the first week of the shutdown found that americans disapproved of the government leaders' handling of the shutdown by wide margins: 70% disapproved of congressional republicans' handling of budget negotiations, 61% disapproved of congressional democrats', and 51% disapproved of president obama's. (disapproval of the republicans' and democrats' behavior in the budget talks had risen since the week before the shutdown began, but obama's had remained the same.)
