Few Voters Expect Better Economy Regardless of Who Wins White House
Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Voters are not convinced that the economy will improve no matter who's elected president in November. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 32% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the economy will get better if President Obama is reelected, but 37% believe it will get worse.
If likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney wins the election, 36% expect the economy to improve, but 35% believe the opposite. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
