Voters for the first time are blaming President Obama nearly as much as President Bush for the countrys continuing economic problems.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 49% still blame the economic situation on the recession that began under Bush. But 45% now say the nations economic problems are caused more by Obamas policies.
Just a month ago, 55% pointed the finger at Bush, while only 37% said the policies Obama has put in place since taking office were at fault. These findings had remained largely unchanged since May.
Sixty-two percent (62%) now trust their own judgment more than the presidents when it comes to the economic issues facing the nation, up three points from a month ago and up 13 points from early February. Twenty-seven percent (27%) trust Obamas economic judgment more, and 11% are not sure.
