Most Americans—54%--still blame President George W. Bush for the nation’s economic woes. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 39% say the policies of President Barack Obama are to blame.
Those top-line figures are unchanged from a month ago. Two months ago, 62% blamed Bush.
By a two-to-one margin, voters trust their own economic judgment more than the President’s. That, too, is little changed over the past month. However, in February, just 49% trusted their own economic judgment more than the president’s.
Fifty-seven percent (57%) of women still blame Bush for the economic problems. That view is shared by 50% of men.
Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Democrats point the finger at Bush while 65% of Republicans say Obama now bears responsibility. Those not affiliated with either major party are more evenly divided—51% blame Bush and 43% say Obama.
Homie don’t play dat.
Piss off Dems! The blame belongs squarely on the shoulders of Barney Frank, Bill Clinton, and Obama’s Little ACORNS.
       ...But there may still be time, if you act quickly enough...

Flame away.
My brother, who blames everything on Bush is hard pressed to explain the economic woes of Europe but he thinks it could have been Bush’s fault.
The natural cycle of democrats getting the blame for things, even by the MSM, is starting because dems have full control (passing crap like stimulus by themselves )and this is something we longed for over 8 years and are enjoying now.
But that hardly lets republicans off the hook. We had our dream, a republican congress and white house for years and it didnt work out too well. While the Bush/elect McCain or die crowd tried to blame the economy on Obama last fall, it didnt work, and couldnt work. I dont think those not willing to swallow that argument are stupid. Voters had good reason to get fed up with republicans.
As time goes on the voters will blame democrats.
54% are STUPID! How else do you think we have Obama as President?! These are the same people who say Sarah Palin has ‘no experience’. They are STUPID!
you forgot Sen. Dodd
Yes, you’re right. I meant to type the Congress ELECTED in ‘06!
Hard to believe that there are that many idiots out there.
Thats what he should of said instead of the stupidly remark
All whiney libs always blame everyone else for their F**K UPS
Not surprised to hear this.
Of course. Not that Obama’s worthless trillion dollar budget...because it does almost nothing to simulate new business or ease the burdens of existing ones...has anything to do with that. Plus, being the wealthy own a majority of the businesses in America, and they have countless employees, why not tax them at historic rates. There’s no such thing as economic discrimnination...unless you’re poor! And just to top it off, why not throw in another trillion for socialized heath care amidst skyrocketing deficits and one of the worst recessions in decades. Sounds like a sound prescription for prosperity. And last but not least, let’s not forget about those politicians who lowerered lending standards so undeserving buyers could take out home loans. That’s another 25 trillion we taxpayers are stuck with. It has to be Bush’s fault.
as the people wake up, and then there is the community who has to wake up to the crap they voted in “JUST BECAUSE HE IS BLACK”- 97% of hispanics and Affrimericans
They should have looked at the man. Heck! They want a Black Man and not a half white man? They should have voted for Rev. Manning. At least he is smart and has sense!
I am not sure it’s relevent now. So what if more people blame Bush. They can blame Bush be opposed to socialize healthcare and reckless spending. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
W just didn't do enough to stop them.
