USA Today/Gallup Poll: For First Time Majority Of Americans Say Obama To Blame For Horrific Economy…
Finally!
WASHINGTON — Americans’ pessimism about the economy and its future is deepening, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, and they are increasingly willing to hold President Obama responsible for hard times.
Eight of 10 say the economy is in a recession, and nearly as many say it hasn’t improved over the past year. Even more ominous: Six in 10 predict the economy a year from now will be the same or worse than today, a downturn from the public’s views last year and the year before.
Former president George W. Bush deserves a great deal of blame, 36% say, a decline of 7 percentage points since mid-2009, five months after he had left office.
Twenty-four percent say Obama deserves a great deal of the blame, up 10 points since 2009. For the first time since he took office, a majority of Americans — including six in 10 independents — say he deserves a great deal or moderate amount of blame for the nation’s economic woes.
“The blame-it-on-my-predecessor line is of decreasing help to an incumbent,” says political scientist William Mayer of Northeastern University. “It was perfectly fine when he took office, and even reasonable a year or two in, but eventually, increasingly, it becomes Obama’s economy. It won’t surprise me if by the time you get to the 2012 election Obama has overtaken Bush in that regard.”

BUT HILARY CAN DO THE JOB!!!!!!

All he was doing was the job he was set out to do Bankrupt America.
must be the previous administration’s fault
no, barry is doing a great job…we are all racists for not seeing his greatness. its a miracle that he got elected in a country this racist.
Even the black folks who no longer support him (his approval among blacks dipped from 90percent to mid 80 percent) are racists.
This is more of the Liberal conspiracy (well not really covert) to replace Obama.
For USA / Gallup to turn against him, it is a signal that they are in on it.
In the past week, the calls for him to not run have soared.
Bill Clinton has spoken up.
The Democrats in Congress are turning against him.
It’s really obvious.
Some people are way too susceptible to the media. It takes them longer to realize what’s up. Make sure your children learn the power of critical thinking.
When is this ass**** going to take responsibility for his idiotic Marxist fiscal policies? Because you know he’d certainly be basking in the credit if his policies actually worked.
Obama has to be terminally stupid and a rabid narcissist to think that failed Communism policies are going to work under his watch.
Obama could say one thing to instantly fix the economy:
“I’ve decided not to run in 2012″.

about damn time.
But will he listen and change course? Of course not. He’s been in Campaign Mode since August (or possible February) and that’s all he does. That’s all he knows. Teleprompted stump speeches, class warfare, race warfare, and not a shred of empathy for the real everyday workers and producers in the USA.
Nothing that has happened since he got elected, including electoral defeats for the Dems, a shrinking and dysfunctional economy, money debasement by the FED, increasing casualties in the 3 on-going wars, the Arab spring that has only emboldened the radical islamists, nor the mass resignations of his top economic advisers and chief of staff, have dissuaded him in the least from his course of destruction.
Even his own party, the “liberal” lame stream media and hollywood have started to distance themselves from him and his agenda to utterly destroy what is great about this country. Still he lives in his own little bubble, surrounded by sycophants and doubles down on the mayhem.
November 2012 can’t come soon enough for me. Then maybe, we can repaint his stupid black bus with red, white and blue.
Bam looks tired…and put-upon. A 10 day respite in Martha’s
Vineyard would do wonders. Bam, Mooch, and the girls could
all take separate aircraft and convene on the island. The locals
would surely greet them with clam-shell necklaces and blown
kisses. There, he could generate a NEW economic-jobs plan..to
present on Thanksgiving eve to the hunkering, grumbling
masses …..or maybe Christmas eve…or next Easter…..
@Grabbit Frabbit
“Black and blue” buses should capture the moment.
And it only took 20 months for them to wake the heck up!!!
AttackWatch We Much!
Americans are such a capricious bunch! Barry thought
that it was impossible for the worm to turn. He is now
learning one of life’s great lessons at age 50…..but narcis-
sists are always late to the realization of the limits of
their own greatness.
Watch out for October, his numbers are likely to really plummet then, but it won’t be enjoyable for any of us. Historically, that is when the stock market has always tanked the worst and I think we are heading into round two of the recession, maybe really a depression.
And i bet that USA/DECAY didnt expect these polls
