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.

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.

You forgot the pic: From the survey findings and summary, 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. 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: "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.

"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."
