And 44% don't know whom to blame. They either blame Dems for GOP screwups, or they just throw up their hands and say they have no idea who is at fault.

A third of Louisiana Republicans Blame Obama for Hurricane Katrina Response Under Bush
A large number of Louisiana Republicans think President Barack Obama is to blame for the federal governments poor response to Hurricane Katrina, according to a new Public Policy Polling survey released Wednesday despite the fact that the storm occurred three years before he took office.
The Democratic-leaning polling firm, which provided its results to Talking Points Memo, found that 29 percent of Louisiana Republicans said Obama was responsible for the Katrina response. Twenty-eight percent put the blame on President George W. Bush, whose administration did in fact oversee the federal response to Katrina. Nearly half (44 percent) of the Louisiana Republicans polled didnt know who to blame.

The Democratic Party is the loser and the underdog. The media loves a comeback story.
