To repeat:

The largest percentage - 31 percent - blamed "all of the above."

[Democrat_media]

The big news media has most Americans under complete mind control. The news media are marxists/democrats/liberals

[shalom aleichem]

I do not care who the poll responders blame.

I blame them for Obama

[rocksblues]

I find it funny that all these organizations that say the American people blame the GOP for the “fiscal cliff” are part of the MSM liberal Cabal.

[tennmountainman]

No surprise here. Bonehead was the face of the cliff for weeks.
He was so out front on TV everyday, while Reid and Obama hid.
Americans may not know the details, but Boneheads over exposure
became the face of the cliff. No surprise Americans blame the GOP.

[Proud2BeRight]

Failures during Bush White House and Democrat House and Senate: Bush gets blamed.

Failures during Obama White House and Democrat Senate and House: Bush still blamed.

Failures during Obama White House and Democrat Senate and GOP House: GOP gets blamed.

It is all clear now.

[Sacajaweau]

The tax cuts should have been made permanent....

CUT SPENDING!! CREATE JOBS !!

Those are the only ways we can ever balance the books.

[Biggirl]

Goes to show that folks are fed up with all of the above politicos.

[Vince Ferrer]

Republicans are 100% to blame. If it weren’t for them, the democrats would have repealed the debt ceiling entirely, and would not have to worry about spending limits at all. It is all that fiscal sanity that is to blame.

[HarleyD]

Who cares? People voted for a divided government. That is what they got.

[TurboZamboni]

Why is that? Must be the MSM. How can they control 2/3 of the government but get less than half the blame?

Another poll, timed to coincide with today’s Rasmussen poll and with Obama’s return from his Hawaii vacation. All of them orchestrated to shape public opinion in favor of Obama.

[Lazamataz]

My response.

[Venturer]

Lets see 16 % blame Obama, 6% blame Democrats, and 31% blame all of the above. That means 53% do not blame Republicans.

27% blamed Republicans

53% and 27% leaves 20% that never voted at all. and yet they reach the conclusion that “AMERICANS” blame REpublicans for the cliff.

Well a-holes I am an American and I know who to blame.
There is plenty of blame to go around and it starts with the idiot that thought up this cliff BS in the first place instead of just denying Obama permission to raise the debt limit. Who signed this into law. OBAMA.

Wanna bet?

There is no "Fiscal Cliff"....there's handout after handout to buy votes, take Private Sector businesses, and then have the State-Run-Media trumpet the Talking Points that blame it all on Rich Republicans who won't "share" their income with the low-lifes and sex deviates that ARE the Democrat Voterbase.

NOWHERE do they (Media) even SUGGEST cutting back on SPENDING....it's not "Fair" that someone who works has MORE than the slugs who have NEVER worked, and have lived off HANDOUTS their entire lives.

Elections have consequences and the dem voters are about to reap those consequences. I hope they enjoy it.

Well, in a sense, the Republicans are to “blame”. Obama told us that his prescription to fix the ailing economy was a $ trillion spending in “stimulus”. America took the medicine. For four years. It had almost no positive effect on the economy. The Republicans tried to pressure Obama to cut spending by holding up raising the debt ceiling. In order to get the debt ceiling raised, Obama, and true enough, the Republicans created a ‘doomsday’ device now known as the fiscal cliff. It was thought that that would bring a meaningful conversation on spending reduction. So, the Republicans are responsible for creating the fiscal cliff. Obama, of course is responsible for going over it, because, secretly, he wants to.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

When asked who they believed to be more responsible for the "fiscal cliff" situation, 27 percent blamed Republicans in Congress

IOW, 27% will blame the GOP if they prevent Obama from borrowing, printing, and spending to pay for the freebies he promised them.
