More voters blame Bush

Posted in: Muscatine

Voters are increasingly displeased with President Obama's handling of the economy, but a new poll finds most Americans still think George W. Bush is responsible for the nation's dismal financial state.

 

According to a new Quinnipiac poll, 54 percent of those surveyed say Bush is responsible for the "current condition" of the economy, compared to just 27 percent who blame Obama. Among self-described independent voters, a key 2012 voting bloc, the number shifts slightly: 49 percent point the finger at the former GOP president, while 24 percent blame Obama.

Well, it's 2 to 1 against Bush no matter how you measure it.   That helps my faith that the electorate will see their mistakes and do the right thing..

"Republican Candidate" Extends Lead vs. Obama to 47% to 39%

Margin marks first statistically significant lead among registered voters

by Jeffrey M. Jones

ps:  If you want to waste your time quoting polls, other than Rasmussen or Pew, you will eventually be mislead.  But you kind of know that already, right?
