Poll finds rising concern over shutdown impact on economy, Americans personally
Read Original Source
Americans are increasingly voicing concern about the shutdown's impact on the U.S. economy, as a big majority feel Congress isn't even working to try to end it. There's also increased worry from people over being personally affected, particularly among those with lower incomes, along with that concern about national impact.
