Opinions varied widely, however, on the response of federal, state and local officials regarding Katrina. Forty-two percent of respondents characterized President Bush's response to the disaster as "bad" or "terrible," while 35 percent said it was "good" or "great."

Federal government agencies' response was described as "bad" or "terrible" by 42 percent, and "good" or "great" by 35 percent. State and local officials' response was described as "bad" or "terrible" by 35 percent and "good" or "great" by 37 percent.

Respondents also disagreed widely on who is to blame for the problems in the city following the hurricane -- 13 percent said Bush, 18 percent said federal agencies, 25 percent blamed state or local officials and 38 percent said no one is to blame. And 63 percent said they do not believe anyone at federal agencies responsible for handling emergencies should be fired as a result.

However, a resounding 79 percent said they believe gas companies are taking advantage of the situation and charging unfair prices to consumers as a result of the hurricane.

my comments
And just to really piss you off - the ONLY thing MOST Americans are really really pissed off about is - you guessed it, our gas prices.
WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA!!!!!!

1. wait...

the firings of Brown and Chertoff won't come from public opinion polls - I would bet 90% of Americans couldn't identify either one of them.

But the congress will investigate this, and it will be very very clear that FEMA was ineptly managed to the point of criminality.

2. Contradicts this SUSA poll

53% say that FEMA director Brown should be replaced, and 48% say that Homeland Security director Chertoff should be replaced.

Only 40% and 42%, respectively, support keeping them.

5. Remeber... That is FUCKING CNN Poll!

They poll lot more republicans than, Dems. I bet, it took them, 10,000 republicans, 500 dems and 500 Independents to do this poll, since lot of republicans don't agree with what this administration is doing, they have to poll lot more of them so they can get the numbers they want for their poll.
