Rasmussen: 45% Now Blame Obama for Economy, Oh My!

Though 49% still place the blame for our economic situation on Bush, 45% now put the blame squarely on Obama's actions since taking office. This is a big change for those following Rasmussen's tracking of this measure:

Just a month ago, 55% pointed the finger at Bush, while only 37% said the policies Obama has put in place since taking office were at fault. These findings had remained largely unchanged since May.

Sixty-two percent (62%) now trust their own judgment more than the president’s when it comes to the economic issues facing the nation, up three points from a month ago and up 13 points from early February. Twenty-seven percent (27%) trust Obama’s economic judgment more, and 11% are not sure.

 The longer Obama has the reins, the more he will own it.
