Obama Better For Economy, Business Executives Say

LONDON, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Twice as many business executives around the world say the global economy will prosper better if incumbent U.S. president Barack Obama wins the next election than if his Republican challenger Mitt Romney does, a poll showed on Friday.

Democrat Obama was chosen by 42.7 percent in the 1,700 respondent poll, compared with 20.5 percent for Romney. The rest said "neither".

The result was different among respondents in the United States, where a slim majority thought Romney would be better for their businesses than Obama.

Obama maintains a seven-point lead over Romney among registered voters in the race for the Nov. 6 presidential election, despite the fact Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the future, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted last week.

Well if Obama wins I am sure the World economy will be better.
And the US economy will be worse then it is now...

If that is at all possible.

 

[Two Thumbs]

of course

When he takes money from us and gives it to them, we become weaker, giving them the advantage.

about 37% were honest though

Not another Buffett style thread. The same Warren Buffett who is trying to fight to keep from paying one million in back taxes.

Um....do you want to explain to us when and how the US gives money to Europe?

I don't have much faith that the policies in place are going to be good for this economy.

I have a lot of faith that the policies MITT proposes would be disasterous for this nation.

There's my choice.

Something not very good, versus something I am pretty sure is much much worse.

Obama is probably going to get my vote, unless something VERY dramatic happens to change my mind.

The index of U.S. leading economic indicators climbed more than forecast in July, and consumer confidence unexpectedly improved this month, signs of sustained expansion in the world’s largest economy.

I have no obligation base my vote on what pleases foreigners, no matter how much those foreigners and American leftists insist I do.

When there is trouble in the world economy, there's trouble with the US economy and if there is trouble with the US economy (or the European economy for that matter), there's trouble with the world economy.
Currently, we have a world economy, the US economy cannot survive on it's own anymore. It's a two-way street.

The Puffington Host, I bet this is going to be informative and balanced.

Let me guess, they asked a bunch of CEOs of banks whether they want a guy that supports bailouts or one that supports bankruptcy and 42% of them supported the guy that will bail them out.

Is it just me, or does anyone else see a problem with this poll?

Obama is better for the economy than

...a plague of frogs
...a civilization killing asteroid impact

No, it is only intended for people with a broad view of things.

And that's what politicians count on, people to vote for something they don't even like... As long as they seem ever so slightly less bad than the other guy.

This country deserves to fall apart lol.
