Even though it is Republican Presidents who have increased the deficit and damaged the economy the most, the GOP has still been able to persuade many people that it is good on the economy.

This also is a reminder of the failure of the Democrats to adequately counter that message, although I think things are improving.

Btw, this poll was posted on a thread earlier tonight.
