The figure includes large numbers of dissatisfied Republicans and represents a sharp increase in pessimism over the last year. Higher fuel prices have sharpened the criticism.

By Maura Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON -- Three out of four Americans, including large numbers of Republicans, blame President Bush's economic policies for making the country worse off during the last eight years, according to a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll released today, reflecting a sharp increase in public pessimism during the last year.

Nine percent of respondents said the country's economic condition has become better off since Bush became president, compared with 75% who said conditions had worsened. Among Republicans, 42% said the country is worse off, while 26% said it is about the same, and only 22% thought economic conditions had improved.

I just want to know who the 9% are that think the economy is better off now that it was 8 years ago... SERIOUSLY???

A lot of them probably got that tax cut for the wealthy.

Unless I'm much mistaken the Democrat Congress has a slightly higher approval rating than the Republican Congress around the time of the 2006 election.

As this poll demonstrates, most Americans realize where the bulk of the responsibility rests on. That is unless the Republican Party is saying the last years, they have been ineffective at governing.

Pretty much. Its kind of hard to pass vetoed bills these days.

Had a hard time understanding why "Times" (without qualifier, I think "London Times") would do a poll about Bush till I clicked (and found that it meant "L.A. Times").
