Are things really getting better?

Last quarter, the economy grew by the largest amount since the summer of 2007, but there are signs that things are still getting worse.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly two years into the recession, opinion about which political party is responsible for the severe economic downturn is shifting, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Friday morning indicates that 38% of the public blames Republicans for the country's current economic problems. That's down 15 points from May, when 53% blamed the GOP.
According to the poll, 275 now blame the Democrats for the recession, up 6 points from May. Twenty-seven percent now say both parties are responsible for the economic mess.
"The bad news for the Democrats is that the number of Americans who hold the GOP exclusively responsible for the recession has been steadily falling by about two to three points per month," said Keating Holland, CNN polling director. "At that rate, only a handful of voters will blame the economy on the Republicans by the time next year's midterm elections roll around.." [more]

Just more of that liberal progressive policy that we must all sacrifice our security for. Barry can solve the problems simply by increasing the amount of the welfare checks.

You left out a few choices in your poll. Maybe, "All of the above", "Libertarians", "Aliens", "Muslims", "Me", and some more I can not think of right now. A poll is only as good as the choices given. Surely we can find someone to blame it on!

Housing for all - move out of public housing into your dream adobe. Never mind you can't afford the light bill or the garbage bill. As long as you have your cell phone and food stamps what else is needed. Barry the Messiah will save me I just know it.

+ 1 - the enablers of the trash mortgage "pigs" dressed up to look like A1 "silk purse" Securities.
Add insult to injury = $700b of bailouts.

whos fault? Politicians, bought and paid for, crooked the lot of them. I would add the electorate
but it doesnt seem to mater who people vote for as the only candidates are all the same.

You know what happens when you drop off a truck full of arms in the ghetto? Within two days the truck is robbed and the arms are distributed to gang members. You know what happens next - the gang members start killing each other over nothing. Now that's what I call a liberal progressive strategy - equal death for all.

How about all of the above + some real estate loan sharks, tranche salesmen and house flippers? Oh, and the credit card companies that used to give their cards away to anyone, +....well I'll think of more to add to the list.

Banks and foolish people.

Not a choice...I selected none of the above. I keep going back to my civic studies that say our representation is voted by the people....I don't blame the representation, I blame the represented.

This is actually the 'best answer' as it has nothing to do with either Dems or Reps.

The BLAME stems partly in the 'Housing Sector' -- in that was the bulk of what took everyone down.

Children why is this?
Because the Government Industries most responsible Fannie and Fredie were destined to FAIL. This was detailed at length and we knew it was inevitable.

So kids how did they handle the problem?
They make it look like -- the BANKS were responsible and let them devise a scheme that will take Trillions and Trillions of dollars.

How else could 'we' maximize the destruction of the Economy?
Shaddow Banking System!!!

Very true !!

The 'spend like there is no end' lifestyle has long been in place. Debt has largely been both 'encouraged' and 'reinforced'
