A majority of voters says funding for President Trump's proposed wall along the southern border is not worth forcing a government shutdown, according to a new survey.

Politico/Morning Consult poll finds 61 percent of registered voters think funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall is "not important enough to prompt a shutdown."

But 27 percent of respondents said funding the wall is important enough to prompt a shutdown.

A majority of voters said they had heard some or a lot about a possible government shutdown and about three-quarters of voters said a government shutdown would be concerning to them, according to the poll.

The poll also finds that 51 percent of respondents would blame Capitol Hill Republicans or Trump if the government shuts down. Thirty-one percent said they would blame congressional Democrats.

President Trump has offered mix signals this week about whether he is open to waiting until fall to get money for his proposed border wall, instead of in a must-pass spending bill this week.

The government will shut down if Congress cannot agree on a spending bill by the end of Friday.

On Tuesday, the president insisted he is fully committed to building the wall.

"Don't let the fake media tell you that I have changed my position on the WALL," Trump tweeted. "It will get built and help stop drugs, human trafficking etc."
