Whose Side is The American People on Regarding The Goverment Shutdown?

Overwhelmingly, the American people say they are on the side of compromise regarding the budget showdown on Capitol Hill. A CNN/Opinion Research Poll, noted that by a wide margin Democrats and more importantly Independents are happy that there was a compromise.

The poll's internal numbers found that Democrats and independents were most likely to favor the deal. Democrats backed it 66-28 percent (with a 6 percent margin of error), while independents supported it 56-39 percent (with a 5 percent margin of error).

In the same poll the American people say that Democrats deserve most of the credit for the agreement.

Forty-eight percent of Americans said that the president and congressional Democrats deserved the most credit for reaching the agreement. Thirty-five percent credited the agreement to Republicans in Congress; 11 percent said both parties were equally responsible for the agreement.

 Yet despite this poll and I will take liberties and assume that these numbers won't change much, Radicals like Rush Limbaugh and Rep Mike Pence (R-IN) are saying that Republicans caved and in Pence's case, says that he will refuse to vote for this spending cut? If this was such a crisis why would he NOT vote for a spending cut no matter the size?
