Poll: Voters Blame Bush More Than Obama for Economy

President Barack Obama certainly has his work cut out for him regarding the U.S. economy on the need to create jobs, but a new Qunnipiac University Poll indicates Americans think his predecessor, George W. Bush, is more-responsible for the economy's current condition.

This poll is rather dubious.

Yeah...... Qunnipiac has a record of rarely coming even close, except for local issues in the NE.......they rank right up there with Pew for objectivity.

Yeah....I've looked all over their site for the "internals" in any given poll, and they never provide them.  This alone makes their results statistically questionable.

They give you percentiles of demographics, but I want to know how many (or what percent of the total sample) dems, reps, and indies that are included in their count.  This is the skew trick that Gallup uses, oversampling Democrats.

Q'pac is about as unbiased as the NYT, but even if they were right, all this means is the G. W. Bush would have one Hell of a time getting elected President in 2012...if he was running.
