A majority of Americans surveyed in a new poll said they believe President Trump should compromise on his demands for a wall along the southern border to prevent gridlock and avert a partial government shutdown.
An NPR/PBS Newshour/Marist Poll released early Tuesday found that 57 percent of respondents said Trump should compromise on the border wall, compared to 36 percent who believe he should remain firm in his demands, even if it means shutting down part of the government.
The results are split along partisan lines, with 71 percent of Democrats polled and 61 percent of independents polled saying the president should compromise.
Sixty-five percent of Republicans in the survey said Trump should not compromise on the border wall, one of his key campaign pledges, according to the poll.
Overall, 44 percent of respondents said they approve of the way Trump is handling immigration policy, while 52 percent disapprove.
