Voters Blame Republicans For Financial Crisis: An Obama Advantage?
Posted Sep 22, 2008 at 7:18 PM by Maurice Berger
A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released today reports that registered voters, by a two to one margin "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." CNN continues: "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."
