U.S. public disfavors Obama's, Romney's economic plans: poll
WASHINGTON, June 13 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. public disfavors both President Barack Obama's and presumptive Republican candidate Mitt Romney's economic plans, showed a poll released Wednesday.
The survey, conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post, found that reaction to Obama's economic proposals was 50 percent negative and 43 percent positive, and for Romney's it was 47 percent negative and 37 percent positive, with sharp differences among groups.
Among all the voting groups, the swing-voting independents, whose opinion is key to the 2012 presidential election, are even more distrustful of both the sitting president's and the challenger's ideas about the U.S. economy.
Fifty-four percent of independents viewed the president's economic proposals negatively, while 38 percent were positive. For Romney, 47 percent rated his plans unfavorably and 35 percent favorably.
Obama also crosses the 50 percent negative line among registered voters, at 51 percent to 43 percent. Romney's rating among registered voters was 46 percent unfavorable to 40 percent favorable. However, more independents are undecided about Romney's plans than his rival's, giving the Republican challenger more room to attract support.
Romney's plans are also less popular with his base than Obama's are among his own supporters. Romney's policies earn the support of 65 percent of Republicans polled, while 76 percent of Democrats like the president's plans.
There are more discouraging signs for the president's reelection bid amid a still-tough economy. Obama's approach is the least popular with middle-class voters who earn between 50,000 and 100,000 dollars and will be essential to winning rust-belt swing states. White voters are split on Romney's economic plan, but against the president's by a two-to-one margin.
After more than three years in the White House, Obama had a 55 percent negative rating in an ABC and The Washington Post poll released last month.
The economy remains the top issue in the 2012 election. Obama must be aware of the fact often cited by the U.S. media this year that no president has won re-election with an unemployment rate above 8 percent since President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression.
The incumbent's and the challenger's campaign teams have been warring over who would best lead the U.S. economy. Romney's campaign claims the successful private-sector background makes Romney much more suited to improve the economy than the incumbent president. Obama's campaign argues that his administration has improved job creation and economic recovery out of an "inherited burden" left behind by the former administration of George W. Bush.
The president's team has also raised doubts over Romney's business background and even released a hard-hitting ad calling Bain Capital, a private equity firm formerly run by Romney, a job-killing "vampire."
美国选民对奥巴马及罗姆尼的经济政策均表示不满
新华网华盛顿６月１３日电（记者孙浩 王丰丰）美国媒体１３日公布的一项更新民调结果显示，在经济形势左右选情的这个大选年内，美国选民目前对现任总统奥巴马及共和党总统竞选人罗姆尼的经济政策均不“买账”。
这项调查由美国广播公司与《华盛顿邮报》联合发布。调查显示，整体而言，美国受访选民中不满奥巴马经济政策的比例为５０％，满意者占４３％；同时，不满罗姆尼经济政策者占４７％，满意者为３７％。
随着两党阵营分歧加剧，独立选民意见对此次选举结果颇为关键，也成为奥巴马及罗姆尼竞选团队争夺焦点。然而，民调显示，独立选民对两者经济政策不满程度更高。对奥巴马经济政策持反对和支持态度的受访独立选民分别占５４％和３８％，对罗姆尼反对和支持比例分别为４７％和３５％。
