Interesting Gallup poll numbers worth repeating

Gallup asked, “Who do you think is most responsible for the problems in New Orleans after the hurricane — George W. Bush, federal agencies, state and local officials, or is no one really to blame?”

Thirteen percent of those polled said Bush was most responsible. Eighteen percent said federal agencies. Twenty-five percent said state and local officials. And 38 percent said no one is really to blame.

Gallup also asked, “Do you think that any of the top officials in the federal agencies responsible for handling emergencies should be fired, or don’t you think so?”

Twenty-nine percent said yes, top officials should be fired. Sixty-three percent said no, they shouldn’t. And 8 percent had no opinion.

All in all, a fairly balanced view.
