when they don t like their options. we ve got new numbers from the new york times today and cbs. the new poll, 47% job approval with the president, not bad, not great. 44% disapproval. 39% approval on handling the economy. i m amazed there are that many people happy with it actually. 52%, no surprise there, disapprove. on the big blame question as we showed you earlier most voters still blame the bush administration, 26%, and wall street 25% for the bad economy with hardly any change, by the way, from a year ago. those numbers amaze me. will that help the president get reelected. msnbc political analyst michael steele, former chairman of the republican national committee. bob shrum is a democratic analyst. aren t you stunned that the people continue to blame the last administration much more than they blame the president for the economic calamity we re still in? i think people are pretty smart. they understand that this had its origins in 2008.
