Its almost as if being stupid is a requirement to be a republican nowadays.
Dumb poll, dumb questions. Nancy Pelosi doesn't hold the power to shut down the government. Only Trump does as he did last year for a record 35 days in order to hold federal workers as hostages in exchange for his wall which he didn't get anyway.

Raising the debt ceiling requires the House and Senate to pass a bill and the President to sign it. Any one of the three players can fail or refuse to comply and shut down the government.
The next budget extension deadline is December 20, 2019. Will Nancy Pelosi shut down the federal government (unless Trump turns all presidential decisions over to her and Democratic Obama holdover - as all the Democratic witnesses of Schiff demanded Trump should have already done)?

Strange that you're not going to hold the democrats accountable for what they did to facilitate said shutdown. Nor them refusing to come back to the table.
The first option.
Shutdown and blame the president.
Or at least insist the president is to blame if we have a shutdown.
"If you say who gets fired, it always has to be the top. Problems start from the top, and they have to get solved from the top, and the president’s the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room, and he’s got to lead. And he doesn’t do that, he doesn’t like doing that, that’s not his strength."
"when they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president."
"You have to get everybody in a room. You have to be a leader. The president has to lead. He has to get (the Speaker of the House) and everybody else in a room, and they have to make a deal. You have to be nice and be angry and be wild and cajole and do all sorts of things, but you have to get a deal.
"And, unfortunately, he has never been a dealmaker. That wasn't his expertise before he went into politics and it's obviously not his expertise now. But you have to get the people in a room and you have to get a deal."

That's correct.
Now you agree with me? Were you being sarcastic or facetious before when you said only Trump has the power to shut down the government?
I responded to the misinformation of the poll question. As I said, "it's dumb", and you explained why the title is dumb. It's dumb because Nancy Pelosi cannot shut down the government. As you said, raising the debt ceiling takes the approve of the House, the Senate and finally Trump. Nancy Pelosi does not have sole authority to shut down the federal government. Are we clear now? Trump had the power to shut down the government because he did it last January by veto. Nancy Pelosi didn't shut it down, Trump did.
Well, that's a blatant lie since their negotiations were filmed in the Oval Office for the world to see. They offered Trump 25 billion dollars over ten years for his wall in exchange for a path to citizenship for the DReamers. It would have solved the DACA problem and gave Trump what he wanted on border security. But NO! Trump rejected the 25 billion because he knew that his base, people exactly like you, would not like that he was giving a pathway to the DReamers.
So you are very, very wrong if you think the Democrats refused to come back to the table. In the end, after shutting down the government for a record 35 days and causing great harm to thousands of federal workers, he agreed to a compromise which was far less than he would have gotten if he just took their offer in the first place. He shot himself in the foot and harmed federal workers.
