One year after the collapse of global financial firm Lehman Brothers, most voters (56%) continue to blame the nation’s current economic problems on the recession that started under George W. Bush, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

That’s up one point over the past month, but down six points from mid-May.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) blame current problems on the policies implemented by President Obama, down two points from August.

While the majority of Democrats (81%) and unaffiliated voters (52%) blame the Bush administration, 59% of GOP voters blame Obama’s policies.

At the time of Lehman’s collapse, only 7% of voters supported the idea of the federal government using taxpayer funds to keep a large financial institution solvent. Sixty-five percent (65%) said let the company file for bankruptcy. Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters also said Wall Street will benefit more than the average taxpayer.

In April, 59% of voters nationwide believe the federal bailouts for banks and other financial institutions were a bad idea.

Thirty-three percent (33%) of likely voters now say they trust President Obama’s judgment on economic issues more than their own, up six points over the past month and the highest level measured on the question since mid-February.

Still, the majority of voters (55%) say their trust their own economic judgment more, down five points from the last three surveys.
