40/40 SPLIT ON PRESIDENT'S JOB CREATION

40% Give Obama Positive Marks for Job Creation

Saturday, February 23, 2013

While a sizable number of U.S. voters see job creation and issues affecting small business as very important, they're narrowly divided over how President Obama is performing in these areas.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 40% of Likely U.S. Voters rate the president's handling of issues related to job creation as good or excellent. Forty percent (40%) also give him a poor rating in this area.

On issues related to small business, the president also gets good or excellent ratings from 40%, while another 40% think he is doing a poor job. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

For a look at how all voters rate the president’s performance in a number of key areas, look here.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on February 20-21, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
