In nearly two years of of Post-ABC surveys, opinions have barely budged. Roughly half the public has consistently held Bush more responsible for economic problems since the beginning of 2012.

Since leaving the White House in 2009 on the heels of an erupting economic crisis and with scant support from the public, Bush has largely remained out of the public eye. He’s stayed away from the campaign trail and Republicans have stayed clear of him and run away from his legacy. Meantime, Democrats have continued to cast blame upon Bush.

The new numbers show why. They also speak to the difficulty former Florida governor Jeb Bush (R) may encounter if he decides to run for president in 2016. Opponents will be eager to link him to his brother’s lingering unpopularity on the economy.

Bush’s personal popularity has looked better than his numbers on the economy.
