Maybe there is hope for America after all.
I just saw this on Google headlines:

CNN poll: GOP takes brunt of blame for economy;

Story Highlights:

--Nearly half of those polled blame Republicans for current financial crisis

--Obama leading McCain 51-46 percent, according to CNN poll out Monday

--Majority of respondents view Obama as better on economic issues


WASHINGTON (CNN) -- By a 2-to-1 ratio, Americans blame Republicans over Democrats for the financial crisis that has swept across the country the past few weeks, a new national poll suggest.

...


In a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey out Monday afternoon, 47 percent of registered voters questioned said Republicans are more responsible for the problems currently facing financial institutions and the stock market; only 24 percent said Democrats are more responsible.

...

The poll also indicates more Americans think Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, would do a better job handling an economic crisis than McCain, the Republican presidential nominee.
