预计美国总统奥巴马与共和党国会领导人星期五将继续就联邦债务上限问题举行会谈,希望能够结束政府部分关闭,并避免美国出现债务违约。

在双方星期五举行会谈之际,美国政府关闭进入第11天,而提高债务上限的最后期限将于下周到来。

同时,华尔街日报和美国全国广播公司新闻部星期四发布了对800人做的民意调查,其结果显示了政府关闭对美国政治环境造成的影响。民调结果显示,53%的受访者将政府关闭归咎于共和党,31%的受访者认为民主党应对此负责。

星期四,奥巴马总统与两党国会领导人分别举行了会谈。

共和党籍的众议院议长贝纳的办公室说,星期四的白宫会谈是有益的,并表示将连夜进行工作级别的磋商。

U.S. President Barack Obama and Republican congressional leaders are expected to meet Friday to continue talks on the federal budget, in hopes of ending the government partial shutdown and preventing the country from defaulting on its debt.

Friday's talks come as the shutdown enters its 11th day, with next week's deadline for raising the debt ceiling fast approaching.

Meanwhile, the political impact of the shutdown on the U.S. political landscape was illustrated Thursday by a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll of 800 people. It indicated that 53 percent of respondents blame the shutdown on Republicans, while 31 percent blame it on Democrats.

On Thursday, President Obama held separate meetings with top congressional Democrats and Republicans.

Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner's office called the talks useful and productive, and said meetings at the staff level would continue throughout the night.
