54% to 27%

Ratio by which voters blame George Bush and Pres. Obama for the bad economy, according to a new Quinnipiac Poll. Voters also said they will blame Republicans (48%) over Obama (34%) if the debt ceiling is not raised, and 67% want the deficit closed with a mix of tax hikes and program cuts, while just 25% believe tax cuts alone can solve the crisis. All of this would be bad news for Republicans if it weren’t for the fact that the “liberal” media had not co-opted their cuts-only, no-tax-hikes-ever dogma.
