More Voters Than Ever Blame Bush, Not Obama, for Bad Economy
Rasmussen Reports ^ | Thursday, February 09, 2012

Posted on 02/09/2012 7:35:51 AM PST by Skeez

Voter confidence in President Obama’s handling of the economy is at its highest level in a year’s time. That’s in line with the recent upticks in overall economic confidence and in Obama’s job approval ratings as measured by the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

Forty percent (40%) of Likely U.S. Voters now rate the president’s performance in the economic area as good or excellent, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up from 36% a week ago and is the highest positive finding since the first week in February 2011. Obama seldom has cracked the 40% mark in regular surveying since the first year of his presidency.

The surveys of 1,000 Likely Voters each were conducted February 4-5, 2012 and February 6-7, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Levin is an idiot and Rush is bought and paid for. As for Santorum being a socialist sorry bout that, check out his Senate voting record during the Bush presidency, he is a big spending socialist just like Bush.

Now that Obama has come out again for the huge tax hike on all but those who make less than $250,000, republicans would be well served to just abstain when this comes up in the Congress. Let it happen and just let the country plunge into the depression that is going to happen anyway. Maybe it will come soon enough to rid the nation of Obama. Certainly we will not defeat this demagogue with the lackluster campaign of a Romney.

Gotta love that white guilt still creeping up on a lot of Americans

I certainly have no guilt re: blacks whatsoever. I take every opportunity to tell anyone who'll listen this man is an incompetent boob who is a tyrant. I don't play that guilt crap anymore, and I don't do PC, either.
