QUESTION OF THE DAY: Will the government shutdown end this week?

Well more than a month into the government shutdown, movement toward a deal is finally being made.

A group of Senate Democrats over the weekend broke ranks to join most Republicans in approving a deal that would end the shutdown, while also dropping the Democrats' demand that ACA subsidies be funded. More votes are needed for final approval in the Senate. The bill would have to be passed by the House before it could be sent to the president's desk.

It's the first real movement toward a resolution to the shutdown, which entered its 40th day on Sunday and is the longest in American history.

Instead, the deal would leave a vote on subsidies for the future.

Do you think the deal will mean an end to the shutdown this week? Let us know by voting in the poll.
