52% of Americans believe the economy has improved under Obama. BUT...

The same poll also finds 36 percent of voters saying the U.S. economy has improved and President Obama deserves credit for it, 16 percent saying the economy has improved but he doesn't deserve credit and 47 percent saying the economy hasn't improved during his presidency.

Well then, who gets credit? Bush? Romney?
