Rassmussen Reports: 50% Still Blame Bush for Bad Economy
Voters are a bit less inclined this month to blame President Obama’s policies for the country’s current economic problems.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of U.S. voters now say the problems are due to the recession which began under the Bush administration. Forty-two percent (42%) blame Obama’s policies, and eight percent (8%) are not sure.
In a survey at the end of last month, voters were inclined to assess blame a bit more evenly. Forty-nine percent (49%) pointed the finger at the Bush-era recession, while 45% said the nation’s economic problems were caused more by Obama’s policies.
Voters also have a little more confidence in the president’s economic judgment this month, although 57% still trust their own judgment more than Obama’s when it comes to the economic issues facing the nation. In late October, 62% felt that way.
