While Pelosi has been a vocal negotiator for Democrats in the fight over wall funding, McConnell has remained largely quiet on the issue.

"What's interesting is that McConnell has stood back from the fight over the wall and the government shutdown," political analyst Bill Schneider told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking" on Monday. "He hasn't been much in evidence recently, maybe because he realizes, this is a losing cause for Republicans."

The latest Hill-HarrisX survey was conducted Jan. 5-6 and is part of an ongoing project of The Hill's online TV division, Hill.TV, and the HarrisX polling company that asks 1,000 registered voters a day about issues of public policy and current events. The latest poll has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
