Each Republican run all the way back to Hoover has left a higher unemployment rate than what they assumed...without exception:
While you're looking check the rate their predecessor left for them:
HOOVER......................1928 4.2%.......................1932 23.6%
EISENHOWER..............1952 4.1%.......................1960 5.5%
NIXON/FORD...............1968 3.6%.......................1976 7.7%
REAGAN/BUSH41.........1980 7.1%.......................1992 7.5%
GEORGE BUSH.............2000 4.0%.......................2008 5.8%(this is very generous)
Based upon the 2012 election results I'd say folks are beginning to notice that no matter what the Republicans inheirit...they make it worse.
