More Americans blame Bush than Obama for economy, but Obama blame is growing

But, the number of Americans blaming Obama is increasing. Still, considering how little the President (if ever) mentions George Bush, or even the previous administration generally, it's interesting that that many people still blame Bush (69%) versus Obama (53%). But it's not all wine and roses. That 53% for Obama is the highest number Gallup has had for that question since Obama took office. Also, 60% of independents say Obama bears the blame, and according to Gallup, that's a 32 point increase since the question was first posed in the middle of 2009.
