Respondents also disagreed widely on who is to blame for the problems in the city following the hurricane -- 13 percent said Bush, 18 percent said federal agencies, 25 percent blamed state or local officials and 38 percent said no one is to blame. And 63 percent said they do not believe anyone at federal agencies responsible for handling emergencies should be fired as a result.

In recent days, 62 percent said they believe progress made in dealing with the situation is satisfactory.

So I guess in regards to Bush, only 13% of American's believe in Truman's motto, "the buck stops here?"

It's a pretty frightening statistic. When only 13% of the people hold the president of the U.S. accountable and can have their minds so easily manipulated (or simply don't care anymore), we are in grave peril.
