Nearly two years into the Obama presidency, voters still believe the nation’s continuing economic problems are due more to President George W. Bush than to the policies of the current occupant of the White House.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters think current economic problems are due primarily to the recession which began under the Bush administration. Forty-two percent (42%) say Obama’s policies are more to blame.

I can’t help but wonder how well Rassmussen polls correlate on a week-by-week basis with other polls.
The electorate is Stuck On Stupid.
Rasmussen just pegged 50% of its respondents as ‘too stupid to live’
50% of hard core leftists, maybe
The Right ceded the MSM/Hollywood/Academia to the Left long ago.
These are the results of handing them our entire communication culture in America.
Propaganda works!
Wow. If true, this country is about done. I saw another story elsewhere about Obama being one of the most admired people in the country. Hard to find hope for the future when the whole country is completely nuts.
Don’t include this voter in your tally; I have never seen spending like this congress has been spending.
Never underestimate the Regime Media’s ability to to fool the sheep.
His poll is flawed,it should be Democrat control.
That headline is somewhat misleading. Blaming the problems on the recession and blaming Bush are two different things...
From a thread yesterday;
“111th Congress Added More Debt Than First 100 Congresses Combined: $10,429 Per Person in U.S. Monday, December 27, 2010 By Terence P. Jeffrey
(CNSNews.com) - The federal government has accumulated more new debt—$3.22 trillion ($3,220,103,625,307.29)—during the tenure of the 111th Congress than it did during the first 100 Congresses combined, according to official debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury.
That equals $10,429.64 in new debt for each and every one of the 308,745,538 people counted in the United States by the 2010 Census.
The total national debt of $13,858,529,371,601.09 (or $13.859 trillion), as recorded by the U.S. Treasury at the close of business on Dec. 22, now equals $44,886.57 for every man, woman and child in the United States.
In fact, the 111th Congress not only has set the record as the most debt-accumulating Congress in U.S. history, but also has out-stripped its nearest competitor, the 110th, by an astounding $1.262 trillion in new debt.”
It was the Congress, during the last two years of the Bush Administration that spent the money. The President can’t just spend money unless Congress wants him to. That Congress was under Democratis control. So guess who you have to blame.
Bush is gone for two years and the idiots still blame HIM for the economy. All those years of the LSM attacking him and blaming him for everything short of the assassination of JFK really had an effect on voters’ psyche.
That was George H.W. Bush that gets the media blame for that one.
That was George H.W. Bush that gets the media blame for that one.
The crash started in 2007. Bush put out the warning, which fell on deaf ears due to the housing bubble. Whats a guy going to do, timing is everything.
