Republicans are winning the least points for their handling of the US shutdown, according to new polls.
The Washington Post/ABC Poll found that while the public's ratings for the president and both parties in Congress remain negative, disapproval of Republicans has grown in the past week.
Nearly 70 of Americans now disapprove of how Republicans in Congress are handling budget negotiations, up from 63 percent last week.
The Pew Research Poll found that 38 percent of Americans blame Republicans more for the shutdown, as compared to 30 percent who blame Obama, and 19 percent blame both sides.
According to the Huffington Post, a third poll by CNN/ORC found that majorities of Americans are angry at everyone involved with the shutdown.
The poll found that 63 percent said that they are angry at Republicans, 57 percent said they're angry at Democrats, and 53 percent said that they're angry at Obama.
