New CNN Poll: 57% of Registered Voters Blame Bush and GOP for Current Poor Economy

While Mitt Romney continues to get lashed for his untrue statements about the protests against U.S. embassies and the brutal assault on the Libyan consulate, more bad news was rolled out today when a new CNN poll revealed that 57% of registered voters blame Chimperator Bush and the GOP for the current poor economy.  Hence why the GOP attack ads against Barack Obama on the state of the economy may not be gaining much traction (the unrelated chart above shows where responsibility for the nation's deficit really lies).  Personally, it is encouraging to see that Americans may not be as dumb as the Republicans think they to be.  Here are highlights from Politicussua on the poll results:

A new CNN poll explains why President Obama is leading in the polls. By margin of 57%-35%, registered voters blame George W. Bush and the Republican Party for the poor condition of the economy.

The back breaker for Romney came when registered voters were asked which policies were more to blame for the country’s current economic problems, George W. Bush and the Republicans or Barack Obama and the Democrats. Fifty seven percent of registered voters said that Bush and the Republicans are responsible, compared to 35% who blamed Obama and the Democrats.

A deeper look inside the who is responsible numbers reveals that by a margin of 53%-37%, Independents think Bush and the GOP are responsible for the current state of the economy. Fifty six percent of men and fifty eight percent of women still hold Bush and the GOP responsible.

Americans under age 50 hold Bush and the Republican Party more responsible by a more than 2 to 1 margin.  

If wants to see who besides Chimperator Bush is responsible, some of the leaders of the GOP who have been willing to destroy the economy and harm countless Americans are featured in the image below.
