Another set of numbers from our new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll: 60 percent say President Obama inherited the current economic conditions, compared with 26 percent who blame his policies for the state of the economy.

That's a slight change from Aug. 2011, when 56 percent said the president inherited the economy, versus 33 percent who singled out his policies.

2. That is good but it is amazing it is only 60%. I can understand the usual 25% or so that

that just can't admit a Rethug f-----d things up no matter what. Where was the other 15% asleep or what?

3. How the hell did we get to the point where polls decide what reality is?

Critical thinking is dead.

The headline should read:

"40% of Americans are out of touch with reality"

or

"Right-wing propaganda effective -- 40% buy into it"

4. Question for the 26% who blame him for the current economic conditions

Do they think the economy was booming when Obama came into office? Disastrous Bush/Republican economic policies will still be affecting us 10 years from now.

5. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! He inherited a fucked up economy and made it better.

6. More people today believe he inherited a bad economy than at this time last year. So, I'll take it.
