Voters’ worries about Obama’s economy rise

House GOP leaders are betting that President Barack Obama’s economy — as well as Obamacare — will drag Democrats down in November, and Gallup is providing new evidence to bolster their strategy.

“More Americans, 42%, say they are financially worse off now than they were a year ago, reversing the lower levels found over the past two years,” Gallup announced Wednesday.

“Just more than a third of Americans [35 percent] say their financial situation has improved from a year ago,” Gallup reported.

The percentage of Americans who think 2014 will be a good year for their finances has dropped from 66 percent in late 2013 to 55 percent in early January, Gallup said.

The Gallup report helps explain the recent sharp drop in Obama’s polls, and adds to other evidence suggesting that public is shrugging off Obama’s persistent claims that President George W. Bush’s policies are still dominating the economy.

“It’s been more than five years since a devastating recession cost this country millions of jobs, and it hurt North Carolina pretty tough,” Obama said during a Thursday speech in North Carolina.

“I say this can be a breakthrough year for America [and] the pieces are all there to start bringing back more of the jobs that we’ve lost over the past decade,” he insisted.

On Jan. 13, GOP House Speaker John Boehner cited a November survey showing that a near-majority of Americans blame the bad economy on Obama’s policies, instead of President George W. Bush’s policies.

And here I thought people that did not do well were responsible themselves and just need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Is that not the case? Did Republicans not run around around the holidays claiming that people were just too lazy to pick up a job and should not be rewarded for their lazyness? Did that suddenly change over the last two to three weeks? Now it's Obama's fault again that people can't get ahead?

If you folks could just make up your minds for once.

LOL, are you assuming all these people down on Obama-economics are unemployed slouches?

Got news for you Bro, the whole country is weary of waiting for the "green economy" to lead this country back.

(Another Obama promise which never got out of the starting gate)

What's the tea party solution Danno? How could we all be riding the wave of economic boom times once again?

Unemployed slouches, underemployed slouches, you name it. I've read here time and again that people who are not making it only have themselves to blame; that all they have to do it work harder. Not so anymore?

People are worse off in Britain and many other European countries too. What should Obama do about this?

[Teddy B 17,252]

Funny how the premise of the article hinges around the dates of the ACA starting.

Just for the record, My wife and I are much better off financially right now, then we were a year ago.

Thanks Obama!!

Thanks Obama!!

Funny you should say that - my family is doing much better, too.

But if you were really rich, you would be doing better.....

Thanks to Obamer.

People are doing better because of all the food stamps and never ending unemployment benefits.

But of course.

Thanks to Obamer.

Only no good losers blame someone else. Right, Danno?

Close.

Only no-good losers blame others undeservedly or to avoid their own accountability.

And doesn't that bring us right back around to the FBP (first black president).... blaming Bush 5 years out?

What's the problem with blaming someone for something when it's rightfully so?

Same. But that's not the result of anyone from Washington.
