Voters Still Blame Bush More Than Obama for Poor Economy

Voters continue to blame the George W. Bush administration more than President Obama's policies for the country's ongoing economic problems.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters say the current economic problems are due to the recession which began under the Bush administration. Forty-one percent (41%) believe the current policies of President Obama are more to blame.

"The voters" are a ass.

“Began under the Bush administration” is slightly different than what the headline implies, and doesn’t take into account the democrat-controlled congress since 2006

[RWB Patriot]

Let’s see how they feel two years from now when dear leader’s policies really start to take effect.

[Mad Dawgg]

Does anyone ever ask the obvious question?

How exactly does a President affect the economy when one considers his Constitutional powers?

It always amazes me how dumb the American Citizen is about how our government works!

[stevecmd]

Yet we keep seeing here at FR how the MSM is on a deathwatch. Dangerous thinking indeed.

[Dryman]

Sheeple.

[RobinMasters]

That’s exactly what I wanted to say. Slightly different.

I would have liked to know what question they asked.

The voters are an “ass”. Over 2 years the current democrap administration and democrap congressional cronies (4 years) have had to fix the economy, but instead it got much worse!

Voters Still Blame Bush More Than Obama for Poor Economy

Funny, and here I sit thinking that the democrats held the majority in Congress since 2006.

[warchild9]

And people here on FR are still blaming Clinton for all sorts of things. He hasn’t been seen in the Oval Office in...ten years, has it been?

Out here in the real world, W is despised, while the Black Messiah just bewilders.

It always amazes me how dumb the American Citizen is about how our government works!

Not to mention the people asking the question. The average member of the voting public just "thinks" what the media tells them.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I used "a ass" instead of "an ass" because that's the way Sam Clemen's said it.

The law is a ass

Obama as late as yesterday continues to say he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit. Obama subscribes to the Big Lie theory, i.e., if you say it loud enough and often enough, people believe it. The Reps have been sitting on their thumbs letting him get away with it.

Every time a Rep leader speaks, he/she should preface their remarks by stating how much the Obama administration has increased the deficit since taking office as well as noting that the Dems have been in control of Congress since January 2007.

[MizSterious]

This should be a test for being allowed to vote. If someone thinks a president who’s been out of office for two years is responsible for today’s economy (good or bad), they shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Stupidity is going to be the death of us all.

[ltc8k6]

Yep, headline does not match the poll.

[kabar]

[silverleaf]

I doubt this

1/3 of the public probably doesn’t even know who the last president was

[ExTexasRedhead]

The November 2nd tsunami proves who We The People blame and it wasn’t Bush!

[SampleMan]

Well then. I guess the Leftists can be comforted that W. won’t be getting elected to a third term.

However, the voters still blame Obama for what he has done.
