Economists rate Bush as the worst for economy

[Robert Oak]

George Bush comes out worst in our poll of academic economists
In an informal poll of 100 academics, conducted by The Economist, Mr Bush's policies win low marks. More than 70% of the 56 professors who responded to our survey rate Mr Bush's first-term economic policies as bad or very bad. Fewer than 20% give positive marks to Mr Bush's second-term economic agenda, and almost six out of ten disapproved. Mr Kerry hardly got rave reviews either, but his economic plan still fared better than the president's did. In all, four out of ten professors rated Mr Kerry's economic plan as good or very good, but 27% gave it negative scores.

NOTE: You can see that the majority of economists are still
"free traitors" and "outsourcing is good for America"...but in their own
academic circles that "free trade religion" is now being challenged
both by results and theoretically and quite effectly...i.e. the "best"
of the economic thinkers are now theoretically modifying their theories and showing that current policy is a deficit to the United States.

But still most economists are still in religious fervor of the "free trade mantra"...so a low score in global trade is actually a good indicator for Kerry at this point.
