WASHINGTON — Utah voters were more likely to say that congressional Democrats were responsible for the record-long shutdown that ended earlier this month, but a substantial number of respondents said both parties are to blame, according to new polling.

More than one-third (35%) of registered Utah voters said Democrats were primarily responsible for the 43-day government shutdown that ended last week, followed closely by 34% of voters who said all parties share the blame, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll conducted by Morning Consult. The all-inclusive number includes President Donald Trump, who 21% of voters separately said is at fault.

Only 7% said congressional Republicans were solely responsible. Another 3% said they didn’t know, the poll showed.
