Bush Still Takes Economic Blame
Posted by David Paul Kuhn | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
Gallup reports this morning that eight in ten Americans still blame George W. Bush for the “economic problems currently facing the United States,” including 43 percent who blame Bush a “great deal.”
Only 32 percent of Americans blame Barack Obama, by comparison, for the recession. And a mere 14 percent blame Obama a “great deal.”
Thinking about the economic problems currently facing the United States, how much do you blame – [RANDOM ORDER] for these – a great deal, a moderate amount, not much, or not at all?
