CNN: "41 percent say the Republicans are more to blame for the country's current economic problems"

CNN Poll: Majority angry at both political parties

Washington (CNN) - Americans are angry at both the Republican and Democratic parties, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Thursday.

But the survey also indicates the public continues to blame the GOP more than the Democrats for the country's current economic woes even though the Democrats have controlled both the White House and Congress for a year and a half.

Fifty-three percent of people questioned say when it comes to the way the Democrats and Republicans have been dealing with the nation's problems, they are angry at both parties, with nine percent saying they're mad only at the Republicans and seven percent angry only at the Democrats. Just over three in ten say they're not angry at either party.

<...>

According to the survey, 41 percent say the Republicans are more to blame for the country's current economic problems, with 28 percent saying the fault lies with the Democrats and just over one in four saying both parties are responsible.

3. The public is ignorant.
If the poll were limited to thinking people, that 41% would have been more like 95%.

4. Actually, I'm surprised it's that high.
We know that 35% will always blame the Dems and 20%(Indys) think all politicians are the same, so 41% out of 45% really isn't that bad.
