Yes, they are worse. A lot of times, Bing actually shows something more relevant, so it can't be all the spammers. Maybe it has something to do with the search history Google keeps, because sometimes I get different results if I'm logged out of my Google account...
Yes, i noticed better results outside of personalized search... It is a hassle to logout thought. I actually use bing for 90% of searches... google is better at tech searches like mysql questions, but outside of that there results have gotten more irrelevant and crowded with useless content...
