Democrats, Republicans and Bernanke
Gallup reports today:
Despite Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s solid roots in the Bush administration, new Gallup polling finds 64% of Democrats nationwide feeling confident in Bernanke’s input on the economy, compared with only 36% of Republicans. This is a complete reversal of the Fed chairman’s image among partisans a year ago, under President Bush, when Republicans had the greater confidence in Bernanke, 61% vs. 40%.
That’s delicious, isn’t it? Republicans like Mr. Bernanke only when he’s working with Mr. Bush, and Democrats like him only when he’s working with President Obama.
