The economy and job creation is the most important issue in this election for almost half of small business owners polled in a new survey, which also found that President Barack Obama leads Republican challenger Mitt Romney by 47 percent to 39 percent.

The survey of 6,145 small business owners was conducted by the George Washington University School of Political Management and Thumbtack.com, the Business Journals reports. Subscribe to *Elections 2012*

Mitt only sees small businesses as being fit to be bought by large conglomerates then sold off for 10 cents on the dollar after he loads them with debt bought from his banking buddies.

Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

Funny but in going over the 'full survey methodology and analysis" this 47% number is nowhere to be found.

Hmmm, has the appearance of bullshit to me.

has the appearance of bullshit to me.

You forgot the pic:

From the survey findings and summary,

"39% of small businesses say that President Obama is the most supportive candidate of small business, whereas only 31% say the same of Governor Romney. And 28% are still not sure which presidential candidate is more supportive of small business."

Which mean the article is a LIE.

Who'd have thought Baghdad Bri-bri would post a LIE????

I'm SHOCKED, I tell you!!!!

I don't know where they are getting the 47-39 numbers.

According to the survey analysis, it looks more like 39-31.

Survey findings and summary

The George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management and Thumbtack.com have conducted a one-month survey of over 6,000 small business owners nationwide. Both presidential campaigns claim to promote policies that benefit small businesses, but nobody has asked entrepreneurs themselves which policies are most important to their businesses. The George Washington-Thumbtack.com Small Business Politics Survey is the only survey investigating the political issues that matter most to small businesses themselves, drawing data from an extensive, nationwide universe of job creators and entrepreneurs.

"Small businesses are deeply attuned to the effect of politics on job creation and the economy," said Dr. David Rehr, a lead researcher on the study with the George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management. "Entrepreneurs are feeling squeezed by the tight lending environment and want their political leaders to curb the influence of money in politics."

Some of the key findings include:

  • 40% of all small business owners nationwide rated the economy and jobs as the most important factor in their choice for president. Ethics, honesty, and corruption in government is the second-most important factor for small businesses.
  • The federal budget deficit looms large in the mind of small businesses, ranking behind only unemployment and the job market in the most important economic issues that small businesses are considering in their choice for president.
  • Small businesses rate gas and fuel costs as the single most burdensome cost to their businesses. And self-employment taxes were rated as more burdensome than even personal income taxes or health care costs.
  • Taxes are not a decisive factor for small businesses in this election, with only 3% of small businesses rating it as the most important issue in their choice for president - outranking only foreign policy and national security issues. Even among economic issues, tax policy was the top concern for less than 6% of small businesses.
  • 39% of small businesses say that President Obama is the most supportive candidate of small business, whereas only 31% say the same of Governor Romney. And 28% are still not sure which presidential candidate is more supportive of small business.
  • Only one in five small businesses believe that President Obama's health care policy helps their business, and two in five small businesses say the opposite.

"Six thousand small business owners have told an unusually nuanced story about the factors that drive their political decisions," said Sander Daniels, co-founder of Thumbtack.com. "When job creators speak, we need to listen."

The full survey methodology and analysis is available, as are the anonymized raw data files in CSV format. Please contact Sander Daniels (sander.daniels@thumbtack.com) with questions or inquiries.www.thumbtack.com/politics

It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'...
