The Hill Poll: Majority of voters blame president for bad economy

[Plasmaball]

Here's the only important part of that poll:

"If there is a silver lining for Obama in the poll results, it’s that centrist voters, who may well decide the 2012 outcome, tend to blame Republicans in Congress more than the president for hindering a more robust recovery.

Twenty-six percent of centrists cited Congress as most to blame for U.S. economic woes, compared to 20 percent who blame Obama.

Similarly, 53 percent of centrists said Obama has taken the right actions as president to boost the economy, compared with 38 percent who said he had taken the wrong steps.

Seventy-nine percent of centrist voters said Republicans had slowed the economy by taking wrong actions. Only 13 percent of centrists credited GOP lawmakers with policies that have helped the economy".

Centrists, aka swing voters, are the voters that decide elections. Everyone else has pretty much decided who they're going to vote for.

Swing voters in swing states with a 7 to 1 negative view of the GOP's actions on the economy? That's supposed to hurt Obama?

lol

ok, if you think so

Wow damagung response there stepth. Really had to rub those two brain cells hard to form this pile of shit huh?

Well just a month ago Gallop Polls still has most people blaming Bush.

Most say Bush to blame for weak U.S. economy, poll finds | Reuters

No to mention the poor marks Congress Critters get.

Was Bush even an option on the Poll by Pulse Opinion?

Anybody still blaming Bush is an idiot. As is anybody completely blaming Barry Kardashian.

About 68 percent of the more than 1,000 adults surveyed nationwide said Bush, who left office in January 2009, deserves a "moderate amount" or a "great deal" of the blame for the U.S. economic woes compared to 52 percent who pointed to his successor Obama, the poll found.

America has added 4.2 million private sector jobs since the stimulus.

Here’s what Bush left us with.....

Aug 2008 - 334,000 net JOBS LOST
Sep 2008 - 458,000 net JOBS LOST
Oct 2008 - 554,000 net JOBS LOST
Nov 2008 - 728,000 net JOBS LOST
Dec 2008 - 673,000 net JOBS LOST
Jan 2009 - 779,000 net JOBS LOST

In case you haven't noticed, it is now
July 2012

Did you also notice, Vel that those years were with a democrat Congress and a democrat Senate?

So at present it would be more appropriate to blame the Republican majority in the House than to blame president Obama...

Centrists like myself watched Obama only compound the problem.

Ok, so you're among the minority of centrists who blame Obama more than they blame the GOP.

What's your point?

Here's the only important part of that poll:

"If there is a silver lining for Obama in the poll results, it’s that centrist voters, who may well decide the 2012 outcome, tend to blame Republicans in Congress more than the president for hindering a more robust recovery.

Twenty-six percent of centrists cited Congress as most to blame for U.S. economic woes, compared to 20 percent who blame Obama.

Similarly, 53 percent of centrists said Obama has taken the right actions as president to boost the economy, compared with 38 percent who said he had taken the wrong steps.

Seventy-nine percent of centrist voters said Republicans had slowed the economy by taking wrong actions. Only 13 percent of centrists credited GOP lawmakers with policies that have helped the economy".

Centrists, aka swing voters, are the voters that decide elections. Everyone else has pretty much decided who they're going to vote for.

Swing voters in swing states with a 7 to 1 negative view of the GOP's actions on the economy? That's supposed to hurt Obama?

lol

Forget that the "swing voters" (aka independents) have dropped Obama like a hot potato.

That's not true. He's currently winning most of the swing states.
