Americans worried about economy, blame Bush: poll

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Americans are becoming increasingly concerned about the state of the US economy and blaming President George W. Bush (news - web sites), according to Gallup poll figures released.
A poll conducted from last Thursday to Saturday showed Democratic Senator John Kerry (news - web sites) leading Bush 51-45 percent on the economy, a turnaround from late September when the Republican was on top by the same margin.
The survey of 1,013 adults found that 51 percent disapproved of Bush's handling of the economy, up from 48 percent in late September. It also said the economy ranked uppermost in voter's minds, followed by terrorism and Iraq (news - web sites).
A separate poll conducted from Monday to Thursday of last week showed that Americans' view of the economy had dimmed in recent months, Gallup said.
It said 34 percent said economic conditions were excellent or good while 22 percent rated the economy as poor. The 12-point difference was considerably lower than the Gallup findings in August and September.


Gallup said Americans were taking a bleaker view of the direction of the economy.

1. It's about time!

It's been like this for almost three years--what, are people blind that they didn't see it earlier?

No, wait--it's the propaganda that Rove and group have spun--they make it nearly impossible to see the truth in any news medium.

3. And from Gallup, no less.

So it's probably more like 55-41.
