Former President George W. Bush is blamed for the country’s economic troubles according to a Harris poll out Wednesday.
Thirty-one percent of the 2,344 adults surveyed said Bush deserves the most blame for a rough economy. Wall Street got second place from 25 per cent of the respondents.
Democrats in Congress were blamed by 16 percent of those polled, while President Barack Obama was blamed by 14 percent. Republicans in Congress were blamed by 9 percent of respondents, and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was blamed by 4 percent.
A majority of Democrats — 53 percent — blamed Bush for the economy. Republicans, meanwhile, blamed Democrats in Congress more than Obama.
“The memory of President George W. Bush and the state of the economy he left as part of his legacy still sticks in the craw of Americans,” wrote pollster Louis Harris in his analysis.
