CNN Poll: GOP takes brunt of blame for economy, Obama gains

[Tennessee Gal]

WASHINGTON (CNN) – A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll suggests that by a 2-to-1 margin, Americans blame Republicans over Democrats for the financial crisis that has swept across the country the past few weeks — one factor that may have contributed to an apparent increase in Barack Obama’s edge over John McCain in the race for the White House.

In the new survey, released Monday afternoon, 47 percent of registered voters questioned say Republicans are more responsible for the problems currently facing financial institutions and the stock market, with 24 percent saying Democrats are more responsible. One in five of those polled blame both parties equally, and 8 percent say neither party is to blame.

1. Good news! Well... sort of.

I'm happy we're leading, but it's a DAMN SHAME that it took an economic disaster to make people see the light.

5. The real damn shame is that less than half have so far seen the light.

But, then, there will be much more light coming our way in the near future.

2. WOW we broke the 29% barrier

I assume that it's because 5% out of the 29% don't know what an ekomony is. Probably be a top search on the googlizer today.

This is good news!
