More than a year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Americans are more likely to say George W. Bush is responsible for today’s economic problems than they are to say Obama is responsible. Gallup shows a significant uptick since last July in the percentage of Americans blaming Obama at least a moderate amount (from 32% to 50%), but little decrease (from 80% to 75%) in the percentage blaming Bush.

Proportionally, the gap in perceived culpability for current economic problems is even wider when one looks at the percentage blaming each president “a great deal” — 26% for Obama and 42% for Bush.
