Looks like CQ's not the only media outlet that wanted to hype the phony notion that new polling data suggest voters are blaming Obama for the economy. They're not. In fact, in the latest NBC News/WSJ poll, a microscopic six percent blame Obama for the state of the economy.

But that's not the story the Times bloggers, and former Laura Bush flak, Andrew Malcolm wanted to tell. Writing up new poll results, he stressed:

And as the months roll by, the results, added together, indicate the clock is running out on Obama's ability to blame the last administration for all ills; the sense of his ownership of the nation's problems appears to be growing in the American mind.

Malcolm spin: Poll shows that voters now blame Obama for the economy.

Fact: Poll shows that virtually nobody blames Obama for the economy.
