poll

Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist University Institute for Public Opinion, said his polling suggested Americans were largely split down party lines when it came to assigning fault for the shutdown.

Each school would have to commission an annual poll of students and faculty to evaluate the campuses’ adherence to the pact.

She said that while the SNP was ahead in the polls, Scots were "fed up" with the party, criticising its record on education and the economy.

Czechs go to the polls on Friday and Saturday facing a deteriorating security situation in Europe and fears of Russian interference.

Entering the shutdown, polls indicated the country was split over who would be to blame, with 19% of Americans faulting Democrats and 26% charging Republicans, according to a New York Times poll.
