While poll numbers (which I don't really believe) point to most of the blame being on Trump for the shutdown, look for those to shift as the weeks go on.

Nancy Pelosi is 78 years old.  She's in an absolutely safe district.  She undoubtedly sees this as her chance to go down in history as the person most responsible (other than Trump himself) for bringing down Trump and ensuring that he does not get re-elected.  She is not going to back down and allow him to claim any level of success in fulfilling his number one campaign promise.  

Meanwhile, the shutdown is starting to have an effect on the economy.  It's 2019, and the election is in 2020.   If the economy even starts to tank, Trump will not get re-elected.   

There's no way she's backing down.
