According to a recent Fox News poll, 47% of registered voters would blame the president in the event of a default, while only 44% would attribute it to Republicans in Congress. This marks a significant shift from the 2011 debt crisis, when only 32% of voters said they would blame then-president Barack Obama for a default.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not just the blame game that&#8217;s at stake. Americans also seem to align more with Republicans on how to avoid a default. Polls by both CNN and Fox have found that the majority of Americans only want the debt ceiling lifted if the government also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/negotiationssowhite-aoc-cori-bush-denounce-bipartisan-infrastructure-group-for-being-caucasian\/\" title=\"\u2018#NegotiationsSoWhite\u2019: AOC, Cori Bush Denounce Bipartisan Infrastructure Group For Being Caucasian\">cuts spending<\/a>.

In the Fox poll, Americans across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-poised-to-take-blame-for-debt-default-poll-shows\/\" title=\"Poll: Biden to be blamed for debt default\">party lines agreed<\/a> with Yellen, saying that if Biden and congressional Republicans fail to reach an agreement, it would be a &#8220;financial catastrophe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p>The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking.
